Cerambycidae Dataset

Biological Records Centre

Description

This Cerambycidae (longhorn beetle) dataset originates from the <a href=" http://www.brc.ac.uk/scheme_details.asp?schemeChoice=7"; target="_blank">Cerambycidae Recording Scheme</a>. All the survey data were collected by volunteers and compiled by the late Peter Twinn, formally the national scheme organiser. The recording cards were input to electronic format in BRC and an atlas was published in 1999 with text compiled by Paul Harding. Recording for the scheme is continuing under new leadership, with Martin Rejzek and Peter Hodge currently collating new records. No publications are expected at present.

Geographic Description

Mainly Great Britain. Recording is strongest in England and Wales and patchy in Scotland. A few records from Ireland are also included, but Ireland was not covered by the original recording scheme.

Purpose

To provide distribution data about Cerambycidae (longhorn beetles).

Data quality

Records have been subject to routine validation by BRC. Maps of the data were sent to the Scheme organiser for verification.
