Introduction
The late Fernando de Zayas (1912-1983) was an avid collector of insects and a member of
the Cuban Academy of Science. Zayas published several works on cerambycids (1956,
1957, 1975) and his 1975 revision continues to be the most important work on the Cuban
cerambycid fauna. His collection, located at the Zayas house in Havana, is housed in 500
Paris Museum-style, glass-topped boxes and is considered one of Cuba's great natural
history treasures. The authors recently provided checklists of the lampyrid and cerambycid
holdings (Branham, 2006; Nearns, 2006). The cerambycid holdings are the most complete
representation of the Cuban fauna known and include 46 holotypes, two syntype series and
a neotype (Nearns, 2006).
