New data on the distribution, bionomy, and taxonomy of the longhorned beetles that occur in the poorly studied region of southeastern Mongolia (mngovi, Dornogovi, and Skhbaatar aimags) are presented together with a list of all taxa that are known from this area. The literature records for all known species from this area were summarized, verified, and mapped. Chlorophorus caragana Xie Wang, 2012 is recorded from Mongolia for the first time. New localities of some little-known taxa that are endemic to Mongolia and adjacent territories, such as Anoplistes halodendri minutus Hammarstrm, 1892, Anoplistes kaszabi Karpiski, 2020, and Eodorcadion gorbunovi Danilevsky, 2004 are given. High-quality stacked images of several unique species, e.g., Anoplistes gobiensis (Namkhaidorzh, 1973), Ch. caragana, and Chlorophorus obliteratus (Ganglbauer, 1889) are presented for the first time along with photographs of their habitats. New remarks on highly complex taxonomic issues concerning some species in the genera Anoplistes, Chlorophorus, and Eodorcadion are also provided.

Sound is an important medium of communication among insects. Some longhorn beetles produce sounds during their daily activities, and these sounds play a role in courtship, predation, and defense. However, whether there are differences in the sounds emitted by longhorn beetles and how to distinguish and recognize these sounds have not been investigated in detail.

Glenea cantor (Fabricius) is an important forest pest that mainly attacks kapok trees, breaking down cellulose and lignin through 3 enzyme activities: endoglucanase, filter paper enzyme, and cellobiase. In this study, we unveiled the cloning and expression of 10 endoglucanase genes, GcEGase5A1, GcEGase5A2, GcEGaseZ2, GcEGaseZ3, GcEGaseZ4, GcEGaseZ5, GcEGaseZ7, GcEGaseZ8, GcEGaseZ9, and Cellulase, all of which exhibit enzymatic activities in G. cantor.

Effective pest management relies on comprehensive knowledge of the insect's biology and invasion history. This study uses genomics to address these knowledge gaps and inform existing biosurveillance frameworks.
