These papers resume the research done by Dr. Ladislaus Rezbanyai-Reser, (Museum of Luzern, Switzerland) during 10 years in Jamaica (West-Indies). This work was realised in collaboration with the Zoologische Staatssammlung München (ZSM) inside of the Project Südamerika: Jamaika.

The results are here divided depending on each tribe.

Cerambycidae Xystrocerini
Martins's Tribes Xystrocerini, Methiini and Oemini are considered one only Tribe Xystrocerini.
Malacopterus tenellus (F.) is recorded for the first time in Jamaica

Cerambycdae Callidiopini
Merostenus White is preoccupied by Merostenus Walker (Hymenoptera); therefore, the new genus Caribbomerus (genotype Merostenus productus White) and following new combinations are introduced: Caribbomerus picturatus (Napp & Martins), C. decoratus (Zayas ), C. exiguus (Zayas), C. howdeni (Napp & Martins), C. elongatus (Fish.), C. mexicanus (Napp & Martins ), C. productus (Wh.), C. brasiliensis (Napp & Martins ), C. asperatus (Fish.), C. attenuatus (Chvr.), C. similis (Fish.)
Merostenus productus (Wh.) is recognised older synonymous of Merostenus tuberculatus Fish. new syn.
A key for Antillan species of this genus is yielded

Cerambycidae Elaphidionini
Cordylomera spinicornis (F.) is preoccupied by Elaphidion spinicorne (F.), therefore Cordylomera torrida (Ol.) revalidated = Cordylomera spinicornis (F.) new syn.

Cerambycidae Eburiini
Eburia pinarensis Zayas is recorded for the first time in Jamaica

Cerambycidae Curiini
Plectromerus serratus (Cameron) is recognised older synonymous of Plectromerus distinctus (Cameron) new syn. and of P. crenulatus Cazier & Lacey new syn.
Plectromerus serratus (Cameron) is recorded for the first time in Jamaica
A key for all species of this genus is yielded

Cerambycidae Callichromatini
Phylematium festivum (F.) is preoccupied by Chlorida festiva (F.), therefore Philematium festum (Gmel.) revalidated = Philematium festivus (F.) new syn.

Cerambycidae Trachyderini
Oxymerus aculeatus lebasi Dup. is recorded for the first time in Jamaica

Lamiinae Pteroplini
Ataxia variegata Fish. is recorded for the first time in Jamaica

Lamiinae Desmiphorini
Desmiphora hirticollis (F.), Eupogonius pilosulus Chevr., Eupogonius wickhami Fish. are recorded for the first time in Jamaica.

Lamiinae Estolini
Estoloides cf. affinis Brn is recorded for the first time in Jamaica

Lamiinae Acanthocinini
Lagocheirus tuberculatus (F.) is preoccupied by Cerambyx tuberculatus F.= Oreodera glauca (L.), therefore Lagocheirus binumeratus Th. revalidated = Lagocheirus tuberculatus (F.) new syn.
Lagocheirus undatus (Voet) is preoccupied by Semanotus undatus (L.), therefore Lagocheirus obsoletus Th. revalidated = Lagocheirus undatus (Voet) new syn.
Lagocheirus dezayasi Dill. is reputed Antillan subspecies of Lagocheirus obsoletus Th. new status. Lagocheirus obsoletus dezayasi Dill., is recorded for the first time in Jamaica
Styloleptus biustus fisheri Gilm., Styloleptus scurra (Chvr.) and Alcidion umbraticum (DuV.) are reported for Jamaica for the first time
Styloleptus planicollis (Fish.) is recognised older synonymous of Styloleptus vanduzeei (Fish.) new syn., S. .maraicola (Fish.) new syn., S. divisus Gilm. new syn. and S. albosuturalis Villiers new syn.
Eugamandus jamaicensis new species is described. Superficially similar to E. schwarzi Fish., it is the only species of this genus with acutely tuberculate prothorax.
