New or Little Known Species of Ground Beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) from Sakhalin Island.

Data on 20 new or little known species of ground beetles found in the south of Sakhalin are presented. Two of these species, Bembidionpliculatum Bates, 1883 and Apristus grandis Andrewes, 1937, are new to the fauna of Russia, and five other species are formally recorded for the first time from Sakhalin Island: Dyschiriustristis Stephens, 1827, Bembidionpseudolucillum Netolitzky, 1938, Trechusnigricornis arsenjevi (Jeannel, 1962), Harpalusnigrans A. Morawitz, 1862, and Lebia bifenestrata A. Morawitz, 1862. The earlier records of 13 species from Sakhalin 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).
