  The Carabini from different altitudes of Changbai mountain, Jilin Province, North-Eastern China (Coleoptera Carabidae Carabinae)

  ABSTRACT
  In the present paper the Carabini fauna of different altitudes and habitats of Changbai Shan Mountains, Jilin Province, North-eastern China was investigated. After examination of the collected specimens we describe one new Carabus taxon: Carabus (Carabus) szeli changbaicus Rapuzzi et Li n. ssp.; C. (Aulonocarabus) rufinus Beheim et Breuning, 1943 was elevated to the specific status. Six Carabus taxa were recorded for the first time for the Chinese fauna: C. (Carabus) manifestus pyonganicola Deuve et Li, 1998; C. (Morphocarabus) venustus cf. kaesongensis Imura, 1993; C. (Diocarabus) caustomarginatus Imura et Mizusawa, 1994; C. (Scambocarabus) kruberi cf. chaos Imura, 1993; C. (Acoptolabrus) schrencki minpongsanensis Deuve et Li, 2003 and C. (Fulgenticarabus) flutschi coreus Deuve, 2006. C. (Acoptolabrus) constricticollis jilinicus Deuve, 1992 was treated as a valid subspecies.
