The biodiversity described at the moment consists of 27 extinct species, distributed in 25 genera of at least 17 tribes. Two taxa are known from Bitterfeld amber ( Palaeotetropium saxonicum and Europsimus germanicus ), while 25 fossils are described from Baltic amber. There is no longhorn beetles described from Oise amber or Rovno amber Lagerstätten. Two fossils are of doubtful generic placement ( Dorcaschema succineum and Clytus (Xylotrechus) pici ) and one species is considered to be incertae sedis within Lamiinae ( Dorcadionoides subaeneus ). Almost twothirds of the taxa were described in the last decade; the extension of the provided above list in the nearest future is expected. An unusual low ratio of the subfamily Lamiinae in the Palaeogene amber assemblage of Cerambycidae (compared to the current fauna) is intriguing, but could not be considered as a reliable phenomenon due to insufficient knowledge state on Palaeogene European cerambycids.
