All species and subspecies of Cerambycidae that are knownup to now from Ethiopia are specified with their accepted namesand synonyms. For the most taxa males as well as females arepresented, 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 stateof knowledge 130 endemits (spp. and sspp.) live or havelived - especially in Ethiopia the damage of nature is alarming.

561 Cerambycid-taxa in 870 photos are presented, inclusiveeight us unknown taxa, which are all available onlyas individuals.
