On the Carabid Fauna (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of Bolshoi Shantar Island, Khabarovsk Territory, Russia

摘要

Abstract An annotated list of 48 carabid beetle species belonging to 16 genera of 13 tribes in 7 subfamilies from Bolshoi Shantar Island is given. Two species are listed according to the literature data for the Shantar Archipelago as a whole; 39 species are recorded for the first time for the Shantar Islands, and 4 species (Notiophilus semistriatus, Bembidion hyperboraeorum, Pterostichus diligens, and Agonum exaratum), for Khabarovsk Territory. The carabid fauna of Bolshoi Shantar Island is mainly formed by widely distributed trans-Holarctic (35.4% of the total number of the species), trans-Palaearctic (35.4%), and Eastern Palaearctic (25.0%) species of the boreal complex which comprises the boreal (60.4%), Arcto-boreal (6.3%), subboreal (18.8%), and temperate (12.5%) species. The fauna is peculiar due to the presence of the narrowly distributed Carabus hummeli middendorfii and, probably, also Pterostichus (Cryobius) sp., but these taxa require further study. The distribution of the species given in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera (2017) is clarified. The reliability of the geographical labels to A.I. Sycheva’s material deposited in the collection of the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, is discussed.
