Main Article Content
Abstract
The first report on the composition of carabids from a natural forest in peninsular India as well as from a dry forest belt in the rain shadow region of the Western Ghats is provided, with data on the subfamilies, tribes, genera, species, geographic range, collection techniques, and the relevant literature details for all the listed species. Fifty-four species belonging to 11 subfamilies and 31 genera were recorded. Harpalinae, Lebiinae, and Scaritinae with 15, 14, and seven species, respectively, are the species-rich subfamilies. The species list also includes two first records from India, four first records from southern India, and six species endemic to the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka biodiversity hot spot.
