II: Carabidae collected in Kos

by Thomas FORCKE

Aside from Staphylinidae , altogether 177 specimens of Carabidae belonging to 29 species, 27 of them positively identified, were collected during the field trip in December 2016 ( Tab. 2). Two species belong to groups currently under revision (Metadromius sp.) or to be revised in the future (Tapinopterus sp. aff. ganglbauerianus). None of the positively identified species recorded from Kos is island-endemic; all of them are distributed also in Turkey. As many as eight species are not listed for the Aegean Islands in ARNDT et al. (2011): Brachinus berytensis , B. ejaculans , B. nigricornis , B. plagiatus , Chlaenius aeneocephalus , Parophonus mendax , Pterostichus strenuus , Syntomus pallipes .

The species in Tab. 2 are listed in alphabetical order. For details regarding the localities, dates, circumstances of collection, etc. see Tab. 1.
