The Carabid fauna of the Crati river ecotope (Cosenza, Italy) (Coleoptera, Carabidae). Twenty years of entomological searches on carabids consented to report data about 126 carabid species so far known from the middle trait of the Crati river. For each species, a list of localities and the pattern of distribution (chorotype) are reported. The complex of river bank habitats (ecotope) is inhabited by several hygrophilus elements, with a prevailing component of Bembidiines, Platynines, Pterostichines, Harpalines and Claeniines. Some wetland species are today rare or endangered, e.g. Dyschiriodes importunes. Many thermophilous elements are widespread in open habitats, meadows and croplands, such as Anchomenus dorsalis, Brachinus elegans, Brachinus crepitans, Amara similata, Diachromus germanus, Poecilus cupreus, Pseudophonus rufipes and Pseudophonus griseus. Eurosibiric and euroasiatic components are largely prevailing (34% of the species) in the chorological spectrum, but also euromediterranean taxa are well rapresented (32%).

Abstract

The Carabid fauna of the Crati river ecotope (Cosenza, Italy) (Coleoptera, Carabidae). Twenty years of entomological searches on carabids consented to report data about 126 carabid species so far known from the middle trait of the Crati river. For each species, a list of localities and the pattern of distribution (chorotype) are reported. The complex of river bank habitats (ecotope) is inhabited by several hygrophilus elements, with a prevailing component of Bembidiines, Platynines, Pterostichines, Harpalines and Claeniines. Some wetland species are today rare or endangered, e.g. Dyschiriodes importunes. Many thermophilous elements are widespread in open habitats, meadows and croplands, such as Anchomenus dorsalis, Brachinus elegans, Brachinus crepitans, Amara similata, Diachromus germanus, Poecilus cupreus, Pseudophonus rufipes and Pseudophonus griseus. Eurosibiric and euroasiatic components are largely prevailing (34% of the species) in the chorological spectrum, but also euromediterranean taxa are well rapresented (32%).
