Camptosomata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cryptocephalinae) of Rostov Region

   A list of Camptosomata of the Rostov region is given for the first time. Fifty one species of this group belonging to the tribes Clytrini (6 genera, 13 species) and Cryptocephalini (3 genera, 38 species) were registered in the region. Clytrini includes the species Cheilotoma erythrostoma, Clytra atraphaxidis atraphaxidis, C. laeviuscula, C. quadripunctata, Coptocephala gebleri, C. unifasciata, Labidostomis beckeri, L. cyanicornis, L. longimana, L. pallidipennis, Smaragdina affinis, S. salicina, Tituboea macropus. Cryptocephalini includes the following species: Cryptocephalus anticus, C. apicalis, C. bameuli, C. bilineatus, C. bipunctatus, C. bohemius, C. chrysopus, C. coerulescens, C. connexus, C. cordiger, C. elegantulus, C. elongatus, C. ergenesis, C. flavicollis, C. flavipes, C. flexuosus, C. gamma, C. janthinus, C. labiatus, C. laetus, C. laevicollis, C. lateralis, C. moraei, C. octomaculatus, C. planifrons, C. pygmaeus, C. populi, C. sericeus, C. quariguttatus, C. quadripustulatus, C. violaceus, C. virens, Pachybrachis fibriolatus, P. mendax, P. scriptodorsum, P. tesselatus, Stylosomus cylindricus, S. flavus. The annotated list is supplemented with information on distribution and food preferences, features of larval stages of development. Among the Camptosomata of the Rostov region, species with Wide Eurasian types of ranges predominate, ranges of the Broad European type and others are less common. More than half of the listed species are polyphags on the imaginal stage. A smaller part consists of broad oligophags, narrow oligophags and monophags, mainly feeding on the families Asteraceae and Salicaceae.
