Faunistic Records of the Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from the Belasitsa Mountain, Southeastern Part of the Republic of Macedonia

We provide faunistic data on the ground beetle fauna from the Belasitsa Mountain (South-eastern parts of the Republic of Macedonia) collected as a result of a short-term intensive research. A total of 79 taxa of ground beetles are listed based on both recent samplings and previous literature data. One species, Atranus ruficollis (Gautier des Cottes, 1858) and one subspecies, Pterostichus melanarius bulgaricus (Lutshnik, 1915), are new records for the fauna of the Republic of Macedonia. Information about the occurrence of the ground beetles in the studied area and their general distribution are presented.
