Abstract

GHANNEM, SAMIR; BEJAOUI, MUSTAPHA  and  BOUMAIZA, MONCEF. New records, notes on distribution and species diversity of Carabidae (Coleóptera) from Tunisia National Parks. Rev. Colomb. Entomol. [online]. 2017, vol.43, n.1, pp.69-76. ISSN 0120-0488.

Tunisia is a very important World Natural Heritage Site, and no scientific exploitation of its resources regarding insect fauna has taken place. In this study, we present the first work on Carabidae collected fromexpeditions to theIchkeul and El Feidja national parks between 2012 and 2013. A total of 52 species classified into 33 genera, 14 tribes, and 6 subfamilies were found. Five of the captured species are endemic to North Africa; and two species, Acinopus haroldi Schaum, 1863 and Cryptophonus litigiosus litigiosus (Dejean, 1829) were recorded for the first time in Tunisia.

Keywords : Endemic; Ichkeul National Park; El Feidja National Park; Tunisia fauna..
