A key is given to the...
The fundamental value of universal nomenclatural systems in biology is that they enable unambiguous scientific communication. However, the stability of these systems is threatened by recent discussions asking for a fairer nomenclature, raising the possibility of bulk revision processes for "inappropriate" names. It is evident that such proposals co...
Some new records of tiger beetle species from Vietnam are briefly discussed, including the first record of Neocollyris (Leptocollyris) restricta Naviaux, 2008 in the country and some new provincial records of the other species: eight in Thanh Hoa, three in Ha Tinh, two each in Quang Binh and Nghe An, and one each in Bac Giang, Quang Nam and Cao Ban...

Neocollyris (Stenocollyris) fedorenkoi sp.n. is described from Lam Dong Province, southern Vietnam. The new species is clearly distinguished from the especially similar N. (S.) compressicollis (W. Horn, 1909) and N. (S.) rubens (Bates, 1878) by the shape of the labrum, the more narrowly spaced eyes, the thin pronotum, the sculpture of narrower elyt...
The type of development and the larval stages of Lebia (Poecilothais) bifenestrata A.Morawitz, 1862 are described and discussed. Because the larvae of L. bifenestrata feed on leaf beetle pupae, have two instars and hypermetamorphosis, their development generally agrees with that of other known Lebia. However, they show some evolutionarily primitive...
Neocollyris (Isocollyris) sharovae sp.n. is described from Lam Dong Province, southern Vietnam. The new species is clearly distinguished from all known species of the subgenus Isocollyris Naviaux, 1994, by the entirely pale labrum, as well as the elytral colouration and maculation.
Distribution and conservation of Cephalota atrata (Pallas, 1776) in Russia.
A new fossil tiger beetle species, Goriresina fungifora gen. n., sp. n. (Coleoptera, Cicindelidae), is described from Eocene Rovno amber. The new genus belongs to the subtribe Iresiina, tribe Cicindelini, due to the glabrous head, the labrum with six submarginal setae (latero-basal setae very long) and two apical teeth with notch between them, the...
We revise the taxonomically problematic Palearctic Cicindela campestris species complex, a group of green tiger beetle species, using an integrative approach combining morphology, morphometry and biogeography. In this first part, an identification key to all subgroups of these green tiger beetles (Cicindela herbacea-subgroup, Cicindela javetii-subg...
The complete development cycle of Galerita (Galerita) ruficollis Dejean, 1825 was studied for the first time. In laboratory, at a temperature of 22 °C and long-day conditions, the development from egg to adult lasted 58–60 days. The development of the third instar larva lasted particularly long (on average, 19 days), and the most intense increase i...
Five species of ground beetles are permanent inhabitants of the fumarola fields on Kunashir Island: Cicindela (Cicindela) sachalinensis A. Morawitz, 1862; Cylindera (Eugrapha) elisae (Mots-chulsky, 1859); Bembidion (Ocydromus) dolorosum (Motschulsky, 1860); B. (Peryphanes) sana-tum Bates, 1883, and Poecilus (Poecilus) samurai (Lutshnik, 1916). Thes...
The distribution area of the halophile tiger beetle genus Cephalota ranges from the Mediterranean Sea to Central Asia, including some endemics restricted to reduced areas in the Iberian Peninsula and Central Asia, such as the critically endangered Cephalota (Taenidia) deserticoloides in Spain. The origin of this genus has been traditionally related...
The present paper includes the results of a year-round pitfall trapping survey of ground beetles in the region of Lake Elton, Volgograd Area, Russia. The main objectives of the project lie in studying the local fauna of Carabidae in the Lake Elton region, as well as their demographic structure and dispersal potential of the local populations of par...

Fumarole fields on the Kunashir Island are confined to the main mountain ranges formed by the Ruruy, Mendeleev and Golovnin volcanoes. Due to residual volcanism, their soil, water and air are enriched with sulfur compounds, the vegetation is strongly depressed and degraded, while the temperature of soil and subsoil air is markedly increased (Zharko...
From the Vietnamese Province Gia Lai Naviauxella fedorenkoi sp.n. and Naviauxella pseudolabiosa sp.n. are described, and how to distinguish them from related species is discussed. The revised identification keys to the species of the genus Naviauxella Cassola, 1988 are also provided.
Naviauxella loebli n. sp. is described from Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia. The differences from the known species are discussed, and an identification key to the species of the genus Naviauxella is given.

The dynamics of ground beetle communities were studied in 2011-2015 in red-stemmed feathermoss-bilberry pine forests of the Meshchersky National Park, Ryazan Area, Russia (55°08’N, 40°10’E). Pitfall trapping was conducted in three types of pine forest: unburned, after a ground fire, and after a canopy fire. The latter two forests had been burned on...
Long-term changes in the community structure of ground beetles were surveyed in nine flood-plain meadows of the Oka River valley (Ryazan Region, Russia) using the concept of stable-labile components. Such approach contradicts with the traditional estimation of the community structure, and there are only a few similar studies now. Based on inundatio...
The distribution of 13 tiger beetles species of the genus Therates Latreille, 1816 from Vietnam is clarified. T. cribratus Fleutiaux, 1893 is new to the fauna of Vietnam. T. kubani Wiesner, 1988, stat. n. is considered as a separate species different from T. tonkinensis W. Horn, 1902.
