Carabidae is a family of the suborder Adephaga (Coleoptera) and with Cicindelidae, and
Trachypachidae cosntitute the terrestrial adephagans (Geadephaga). This Carabidae catalog of
Argentina presents updated information about the species found in our country, their synonymic list,
photographs of their habit, and where such photographs are unavailable, drawings. It also includes
information about their environment or natural history characteristics, as well as their distribution in
each province where they have been observed. The compiled information for this purpose has been
gathered over nearly 40 years of personal research, with much of it coming from materials deposited
in museums, institutes, and other collections. Some of the information also comes from publications
by other researchers, both national and international. As of the most recent update in 2023, a total of
977 species of Geadephaga have been recorded for Argentina, but this number is far from definitive.
Due to the large number of species, in this first stage of the catalog will be included all subfamilies
except Trechinae and Harpalinae.
