Abstract

Information concerning 20 new or little-known species of ground beetles found in the south of Sakhalin is presented. Of these, two species (Bembidion pliculatum Bates, 1883, Apristus grandis Andrewes 1937) are new to the fauna of Russia, while further five species (Dyschirius tristis Stephens 1827, Bembidion pseudolucillum Netolitzky 1938, Trechus nigricornis arsenjevi (Jeannel 1962), Harpalus nigrans A. Morawitz 1862, Lebia bifenestrata A. Morawitz 1862) represent the first formal records from Sakhalin Island. The earlier records of 13 species from this island are supported by additional material: Carabus canaliculatus sichotensis Born 1914, Dyschirius aeneus ovicollis Putzeys 1873, Eobroscus lutshniki (Roubal 1928), Bembidion hiogoense Bates 1873, B. lucillum lucillum Bates 1883, B. varium (Olivier 1795), Pterostichus longinquus Bates 1873, Agonum consimile (Gyllenhal 1810), Amara erratica (Duftschmid 1812), A. hicksi Lindroth, 1968, Harpalus platynotus Bates 1873, Chlaenius inops inops Chaudoir 1856, and Parena tripunctata (Bates 1873).
