Volume 2 covers the Central European species.
The representatives of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae) belong to the most striking native beetles in Germany, often due to their large size, their bizarre body shape, and not least because of their colourful splendor. Characteristic are the long, curved horn-like protrustions.
The beetles their development is done in live or dead, mushroom-infested wood, herbaceous plants, or even in the ground. The vast majority of the species are harmless elements of nature, some are of importance to the biology of soil because they contribute to the decomposition of dead wood. Many longhorn beetle species have become rare and are protected, some are specifically protected in Europe under the German Fauna-Flora-Habitat-Richtlinie.
Summary in German:
Die Vertreter der Familie Bockkäfer (Cerambycidae) gehören infolge ihrer oft beträchtlichen Größe, der z. T. bizarren Körperform und nicht zuletzt wegen ihrer Farbenpracht zu den auffälligsten heimischen Käfern. Kennzeichnend sind für viele die langen, hornartig gebogenen Fühler, die zu der deutschsprachigen Bezeichnung "Bock"käfer geführt haben.
Die Entwicklung erfolgt in lebendem oder totem, verpilztem Holz, in krautigen Pflanzen oder sogar im Boden. Die überwiegende Zahl der Arten sind harmlose Glieder der Natur, einige haben bodenbiologische Bedeutung, da sie zur Zersetzung von abgestorbenem Holz beitragen. Viele Bockkäferarten sind selten geworden und stehen unter Naturschutz, einige sind sogar als FFH-Arten europaweit besonders geschützt.
