    New taxonomic data on some populations of Carabus (Macrothorax) morbillosus Fabricius, 1792 (Coleoptera Carabidae)

    ABSTRACT
    In this work we give new taxonomic data on some, little known, populations of Carabus (Macrothorax) morbillosus Fabricius, 1792 (Coleoptera Carabidae). In particular, C. morbillosus lampedusae Born,1925 described from Lampedusa Island (Sicilian Channel, Italy) is reconsidered a valid subspecies and are designated the lectotype and paralectotypes. Similarly, Carabus morbillosus bruttianus Born, 1906 described from Southern Calabria is considered a distinct subspecies, including the populations of C. morbillosus from North-Eastern Sicily.

    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.

    ABSTRACT
    The study of large series from many localities from all over Sicily of Carabus (Eurycarabus) faminii Dejean, 1826 confirmed that in Sicily live two different subspecies. After examination of the holotypus of C. faminii we found that C. faminii sabellai Sparacio, 2007 is a synonym of the nominal form widespread in south-east part of Sicily. The western subspecies is described in this paper.
