Abstract: A total of 64 Cerambycidae species were recorded during entomological survey of Iran in May/June 2009 and June 2010. The authors presented distribution range of each species, new faunistic and some biological data. The host plant and some biological data for Purpuricenus robusticollis Pic, 1905 are given for the first time.
INTRODUCTION
The longhorn beetle fauna of Iran has been studied intensively over the past several decades, but is still poorly known.
The paper presents results of the Czech entomological expedition to Iran in May, June 2009 and June 2010. During this expedition were visited many interesting locations in Iran, mainly along Caspian Sea and in the central Zagros mountain range in provinces Lorestan southwards to Fars. An entomological survey was also conducted in province Kerman located in the south-east of Iran.
A total of 64 Cerambycidae species and subspecies were recorded by Czech entomological expedition, including three newly described species: Molorchus grosseri Vorisek 2012, Chlorophorus golestanicus Vorisek, 2012 and Semiangusta ambrusi Danilevsky 2012.
In this paper is presented distribution range of each species, new faunistic and some biological data, established on the basis of our observations.
R. Ambrus, W. Grosser MATERIAL AND METHODS
The beetles were collected individually, using generally known methods such as beating, sweeping, individual collecting on wood, flower and leaves and used UV light. Much attention has been paid to larvae collecting. Usually, the larvae were allowed to develop in the original substrate.
The adults were determined by Mikhail Leontievitch Danilevsky (Moscow, Russia), Jiff Vofisek (Jirkov, Czech Republic), Tomâs Tichy (Opava, Czech Republic) and by the authors.

Purpuricenus robusticollis is species endemic to Iran. Distribution of this species in Iran is poorly known, most of the known specimens were collected in the provinces Lorestan, Esfahan and Fars.
This species is local but a typical representative of steppe and forest steppe region, in relatively high altitude. The most of our specimens of P. robusticollis were collected on Centaurea behen L. (Asteraceae) or flying around this plant. The beetles were sitting or mating especially on buds, only a few pieces were sitting on leaves of this plant.
About 8 adults from the province Esfahan, 40 km SE Aligudarz, Nowghan env., were collected on leaves and on stems of Cousinia silyboides Jaub. & Spach (Asteraceae, Cardueae (= Cynareae), Cousinia
section Cynaroideae). Several adults were founded in earthen pupal cells in the soil on the roots of this plant. The pupal cells are vertical or slope toward the soil surface and are laid at a depth of 10-15 cm. The larvae live in the soil and feed principally on the roots and underground stems of this plant.
Cousinia silyboides Jaub. & Spach was determined by the Dr. Iraj Mehregan, Assist. Prof., Department of Biology, Science and Research Branch, Azad University, Tehran, Iran.
Adults emerge in spring, especially from the second half of May to early June.
