Up today, 242 species are registred inthe fauna of Serbia (Ilić 2005). The first information about Cerambycids in Serbiawas published by Bobić (1871). In his publication ‘Coleoptera of Kruševac and theneighbouring areas’ [in Serbian]. Significant contribution in researching of thefamily Cerambycidae was given by Professor Nedeljko Košanin 1904, ‘’Checklist ofColeoptera in the Museum of Srpske zemlje’’ [in Serbian]. He noted 72 species fromvarious localities in Serbia. After that, there were several authors who were occupiedby longhorn beetles: Adamović (1950), Mikšić (1963), Ćurčić et al. (2003), and Ilić(2005). In our work we have presented forty-nine species reviewed from 34 generawhich belong to five subfamilies: Prioninae . Lepturinae, Spondylidinae,Cerambycinae and Lamiinae. All material has been collected from the south-easternSerbia. The most numerous was the subfamily Cerambycinae comprising 18 speciesfrom 15 genera.124
