New or little-known ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) of Kunashir Island, Kurile Islands, Russia

摘要

The paper presents some results of field explorations on the ground beetles (Carabidae) carried out in 2008-2015 on Kunashir Island, the southernmost of the Great Kurile Archipelago. Our review concerns previously unpublished, scarce or dubious taxa in the island's fauna. Of the 70 taxa listed in the paper, 4 species and 1 subspecies are recorded in Russia for the first time, 26 are new to the entire Kurile Archipelago, 1 is new to the Great Kuriles, and 8 are new to Kunashir. A new synonym {Acupalpus inouyeiHabu, 1980 =^4. stor-ozhenkoi Lafer, 1989, syn.n.) and a new combination (Nebria shibanai shiretokoana Nakane, 1960, stat. rest.) are established.
