Contribution to the knowledge of Carabidae (Coleoptera) from Isfahan Province, Iran

Abstract

Abstract: Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) are powerful predators which have efficient role in biological control of agricultural and forest pests. The fauna of these beneficial insects from Isfahan province in central Iran is studied in this paper. Totally 42 species and subspecies from seven subfamilies (Broscinae, Carabinae, Cicindelinae, Harpalinae, Lebiinae, Nebriinae, Pterostichinae) were collected and identified. Of these six species including, 〖WTBX〗Cephalota 〖WTBZ〗(〖WTBX〗Taenidia〖WTBZ〗) 〖WTBX〗circumdata cappadocica 〖WTBZ〗Franzen, 〖WTBX〗Lophyridia concolor concolor 〖WTBZ〗Dejean,〖WTBX〗 Lophyridia littoralis mandli 〖WTBZ〗Mandl, 〖WTBX〗Ophonus 〖WTBZ〗(s.str.) 〖WTBX〗cribricollis 〖WTBZ〗(Dejean),〖WTBX〗 Pachycarus 〖WTBZ〗(〖WTBX〗Paramystropterus〖WTBZ〗)〖WTBX〗 bravipennis 〖WTBZ〗Chaudoir and 〖WTBX〗Cymindis 〖WTBZ〗(s.str.) 〖WTBX〗scapularis 〖WTBZ〗Schaum are new records for Iranian fauna.
