Depicted beautiful alpine meadows, located in mountain landscape ca 4.5 km south of Kajaran (Քաջարան, Syunik prov., South Armenia), were interesting by occurence of several rare Cerambycidae species. On Cephalaria gigantea (Caprifoliaceae) we collected and photographed numerous specimens of Stenocorus vittidorsum (Reitter, 1890), Agapanthia chalybaea Faldermann, 1837 and Agapanthia lederi lederi Ganglbauer, 1883 together with still undetermined small shiny blue-green Agapanthia from the violacea group. Among another observed species may be mentioned also on thistles collected Pteromallosia albolineata (Hampe, 1852).
