Popis: This paper presents the results of the fauna of longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the Gledić Mountains (Central Serbia). The obtained data present the first contribution to the study of longhorn beetles of the mountains. Based on the material collected from 2011 to 2013, 41 species from four subfamilies were recorded and the highest number of species is registered within the subfamilies Cerambycinae (15) and Lamiinae (14). Stictoleptura cordigera (Fuessly, 1775) is reported for the first time for Central Serbia. The additional rare longhorn beetle Stictoleptura erythroptera (Hagenbach, 1822) has been recorded. A single subspecies Saphanus piceus ganglbaueri Brancsik, 1886 is Balkan endemic. Four recorded taxa [(Cerambyx (Cerambyx) cerdo cerdo Linaeus 1758., Morimus asper funereus Mulsant, 1862., Agapanthia kirbyi (Gyllenhal, 1817) and Saphanus piceus ganglbaueri Brancsik, 1886)] are protected both nationally and internationally. According to the system of chorotype classification of serbian longhorn beetles, proposed by ILIĆ (2005), the most of recorded species belong to Euro-Mediterranean chorotype and prefer steppe habitats, what suggests that habitats in the Gledić Mountains and Šumadija region are increasingly assuming more sub-Mediterranean and steppe features due to negative human impact, stronger presence of continental climate and deforestation.
