Longicorn beetles (Coleoptera: Disteniidae and Cerambycidae) were collected with Malaise traps in Shiga-cho, Shiga Prefecture from 2001 to 2004 for evaluating the biodiversity of satoyama. Four traps were set in the second-growth forest from mid-April to late September in each year (from early May to late September only in 2001) and captured materials were collected every 2 weeks. A total of 1,274 individuals belonging to 65 species were captured. Only 1 species of Disteniidae was collected. In Cerambycidae, 28, 23, and 49% of the total number of species were Lepturinae, Cerambycidae, and Lamiinae, respectively. The species infesting dead pine trees occupied 41% of the number of species in Lepturinae, probably because mass mortality of Pinus densiflora was occurred in the site through the collection period.
