status

 

Subgenus Calathus Bonelli, 1810

Calathus Bonelli, 1810: Tabula Synoptica. Type species: Carabus cisteloides Panzer, 1793 (= Carabus fuscipes Goeze, 1777) designated by Curtis (1827: plate 184).

Diversity.

Fifty species (Lorenz 2005: 396-397) in Europe, the Middle East, and Nepal. Most of the species are endemic to the Mediterranean region. One species is adventive in western North America.

Taxonomic Note.

Fuscocalathus Nègre (1969: 7) is usually cited as a junior synonym of this subgenus following Ball and Nègre (1972: 510). However, the name is a nomen nudum since Nègre (1969) failed to designate a type species for his new taxon.
