Genus Carabus Linnaeus, 1758
Carabus Linnaeus, 1758: 413. Type species: Carabus granulatus Linnaeus, 1758 (ICZN 1954). Etymology. From the Greek carabos (an animal in Aristotle) [ma sculine]. The animal in question, named Locusta in Latin, is uncertain. According to Camus (1783: 259), carabos was a grasshopper, to Cuvier (1803: 369, 370) a crawfish, and to Latreille (1812: 142) a Cerambycidae . Olivier (1795: [35] 1) reported that the name Carabus came from the scientific name Scarabaeus slightly modified.
Diversity.
About 910 species (Lorenz 2005: 72-114) in North America (14 species), Mexico (two species), and the Palaearctic (about 895 species) and Oriental (about five species) Regions.
Identification.
Van Dyke (1944) reviewed the North American species and provided a key for the identification of all species except Carabus auratus . Lindroth (1961a: 30-42) covered all but two species ( Carabus finitimus and Carabus forreri ).
