Abstract

Distribution and habitats of Carabus hungaricus Fabricius, 1792 in Hungary (Coleoptera: Carabidae) — Carabus hungaricus Fabricius, 1792 is a characteristic species of the Pannon Region, typically inhabiting sandy grasslands and dolomite grasslands in Hungary. Occurrences based on literature data, personal communications and all available specimens preserved in Hungarian collections are comprehensively listed. Most of the data are derived from specimens preserved in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, but also from several regional museums and amateur collectors. Specimen data are listed by counties. The history of the research on this species is critically reviewed in two sections: the historical data (from 1800, the first record to 1949) and the modern research (1950 to the present). Known habitat types, habitat preferences, seasonal activity, endangering environmental factors are discussed in details
