Carabus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae. The genus is highly diverse with 94 subgenera, 959 species and 2300 subspecies, thus is the largest genus in the subfamily Carabinae.[1][2][3] The vast majority are native to the Palearctic, but 16 Nearctic species are also known.[1][3]Carabus spp. are 12–50 mm (0.47–1.97 in) long, and most species are wingless and often very colourful.[1] These are nocturnal, predatory beetles that feed on snails, earthworms, and caterpillars.[1][4] Most Carabus species were thought to have inhabited the Eurasian forest, but the species' low dispersal abilities altered the distribution of lineages within the genus.[5]
