Subgenus Carabus Linnaeus, 1758

Carabus Linnaeus, 1758: 413. Type species: Carabus granulatus Linnaeus, 1758 (ICZN 1954).

Lichnocarabus Reitter, 1896: 161. Type species: Tachypus vinctus Weber, 1801 designated by Deuve (1991: 29). Etymology. From the Greek lichnos (greedy, dainty) and the generic name Carabus [q.v.] [masculine].

Paracarabus Lapouge, 1930: 263 [junior homonym of Paracarabus Reitter, 1896]. Type species: Carabus granulatus Linnaeus, 1758 designated by Nakane (1962: 39). Etymology. From the Greek para (beside, near) and the generic name Carabus [q.v.] [masculine].

Neocarabus Hatch, 1953: 50 [junior homonym of Neocarabus Bengtsson, 1927 and Neocarabus Lapouge, 1930]. Type species: Carabus granulatus Linnaeus, 1758 by monotypy. Note. Hatch (1949c: 144) proposed this name earlier but failed to provide at the time a description of the taxon. Therefore the name is unavailable from that date.

Diversity.

Twenty-six species (Deuve 2004: 109-119) in the Nearctic (three species, one of them adventive) and Palaearctic (24 species) Regions.

Taxonomic Note.

Members of Archaeocarabus Semenov (38 Chinese species) are included in this subgenus by some authors (e.g., Lorenz 2005: 72-73).
