Subgenus
Calathus Bonelli, 1810
Calathus
Bonelli, 1810: Tabula Synoptica. Type species:
Carabus cisteloides
Panzer, 1793 (=
Carabus fuscipes
Goeze, 1777) designated by Curtis (1827: plate 184).
Diversity.
Fifty species (Lorenz 2005: 396-397) in Europe, the Middle East, and Nepal. Most of the species are endemic to the Mediterranean region. One species is adventive in western North America.
Taxonomic Note.
Fuscocalathus
Negre
(1969: 7) is usually cited as a junior synonym of this subgenus following Ball and
Negre
(1972: 510). However, the name is a
nomen nudum
since
Negre
(1969) failed to designate a type species for his new taxon.
