All species and subspecies of Cerambycidae that are known

up to now from Ethiopia are specified with their accepted names
and synonyms. For the most taxa males as well as females are
presented, those with strong variability some other forms too.
13 synonyms are going to get new established, see above,
many others have to get checked again.
It has become apparent that according to the present state
of knowledge 130 endemits (spp. and sspp.) live or have
lived - especially in Ethiopia the damage of nature is alarming.
561 Cerambycid-taxa in 870 photos are presented, inclusive
eight us unknown taxa, which are all available only
as individuals.
