Acta Biol. Univ. Daugavp. 8 (2) 2008 ISSN 1407 - 8953 CHECK-LIST OF THE GROUND BEETLES (COLEOPTERA, CARABIDAE) OF KALININGRAD REGION Vitaly I. Alekseev Alekseev V.I. 2008. Check-list of the ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of Kaliningrad region. Acta Biol. Univ. Daugavpil., 8 (2): 153 - 191. A check-list of carabid beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of Kaliningrad region (south-eastern Baltic Sea coast) with distribution of the species according to the division of the regions area on landscapes is provided. At present the list includes 283 species. 202 ground beetles species are found in our region in last 30 years (13 species new for the fauna), 81 species of the family are cited by the latest German work (Bercio, Folwaczny 1979) only. Data on 3 new for the Kaliningrad fauna Carabidae species (Agonum duftschmidi Schmidt, Tachyta nana (Gyll.) and Badister meridionalis Puel.) is presented for the first time. Nebria rufescens (Strom) and Agonum munsteri (Hell.) reported from Kaliningrad region (Alekseev 2002) are removed from check-list because erroneous identification. The occurrence of 5 species (Calosoma investigator (Ill.), Callisthenes reticulatum (F.), Amara tricuspidata Dej., Dicheirotrichus gustavii Cr., Brachinus crepitans (L)) in Kaliningrad region at present time is considered doubtful. The literature data for the fauna and distribution of ground beetles in Baltic States, Nord-Eastern Poland and West Byelorussia are analyzed.

Recent 239 species of this family are known from faunistical and ecological researches about Bialowieża Primeval Forest (Aleksandrovich, ground beetles at the territory of Kaliningrad Wojas 2001), 326 species - from whole Latvia region are not numerous.
