I'll ask you now. What do carabuses of this species and other similar life forms eat? With those big, blunt jaws?

Well, what can karabus eat in the Chui region?...

Is it really chuikami?

13.11.2007 17:20, Nikolaj Pichugin

There's a huge amount of fat slugs, so they probably eat them.
I am very glad that my material is not idle.

I assume that shellfish preferentially

And ventrally

I guess not, not shellfish. And certainly not slugs. Slim and sharp jaws are necessary for slugs. And blunt and thick ones are needed either for crushing shells, or for feeding other prey. For example, highly chitinized.

Adding another beast:
Carabus (Cratocephalus) chan Breuning
Kyrgyzstan, Chui region, Tash-Debe, 1200 m. 13-23. V. 1993. leg. Pichugin N. Y.
Male and female
Insects are small and nondescript in appearance, but they are extremely rare.

How do they differ?

14.11.2007 18:03, Nikolaj Pichugin

Well, first of all, the size. Like I said, the animals are small and nondescript.
Further, the habitat range, different structure of elytra. Not to mention the genitals.
When, Denis, you come to visit me in Vladimir, I will show them to you. Take it in your hand and see for yourself the difference.

Here! What size is it?

And the range at least in 1 point they have the same

What source was used to specify the area?

14.11.2007 18:12, Nikolaj Pichugin

Somewhere around 20-23 mm

This subgenus of carabus looks great! Yes, and small, does not mean bad! In my opinion, small bites are often more cute than many large ones..

14.11.2007 23:59, Bad Den

Mylabris, and there was no thought to scan this monograph?

I have several other species of this genus. I'll have to do some photography.

I have it scanned, now I'm thinking where to upload it - to my page in Zinovsky or Rapidshare?

15.11.2007 13:33, omar

Definitely to the beetles.

15.11.2007 16:34, Bad Den

Definitely on www.zin.ru
Write to Lobanov?

16.11.2007 19:18, Mylabris

I already wrote it. It's about 12 Mb out, waiting for a response about getting it. The problem is that the mailer, in my opinion, does not skip large files. I broke it into 8 parts. As soon as Andrey gives the go-ahead, I'll send everyone a link. But I will post better in the topic "Scans of books with entomological topics".

Dear colleagues: I have finally scanned Oleg Kryzhanovsky's monograph on the karabuses of Central Asia. Despite its long-standing publication, it continues to be an important work on the Central Asian region. I hope that it will be useful for many people, because it has already become a rarity. You can download it here: http://www.zin.ru/Animalia/Coleoptera/rus/kolovbib.htm

Thank you Mylabris for the scanned book, I think it will be interesting to many. Today I digitized part of my slides, I want to introduce you to the places where these carabuses run and those who collected them.
1. Kyrgyzstan, Tash-Debe, Raspberry gorge. Carabus chan and C. acinini 2 are found in these rashes
. In the same place. Under the stones of C. corrugis, C. erosus
3. Collectors of this good: Obydov D., his wife Olga and your humble servant.
4. Misha Shestopalov and Andrey Plutenko.

Today I have printed out Oleg Kryzhanovsky's monograph on the Karabuses of Central Asia. I'll give it back to you tomorrow. It turned out to be a gorgeous rare book

.
Many thanks to Mylabris for the scan

. And who knows where to download something similar on the barbels of Central Asia? Specifically, the Dorcadion ranges of Kyrgyzstan are needed

06.12.2007 13:20, omar

I think that this is where we should turn to Mr. M. L. Danilevsky. And so-on coleopterologists there is a fairly good, but outdated version of Plavilshchikov.

I think that this is where we should turn to Mr. M. L. Danilevsky.

Apply how? Personally or to his works?

07.12.2007 9:53, omar

I would prefer to book it.

Tribe Lamiinae fauna of the USSR Books need to be bought, they are printed in France.

Some authors ' checklists in the West consider C. corrugis to be a subspecies of C. cicatricosus. I wonder what our experts think about this? Maybe there is some information about this? I didn't see the genitals of males of both species, is there a fundamental difference? And are there differences in biotopes?

I found out what these carabuses and others of a similar appearance eat. They feed on snails, and such mandibles are used for crushing shells.

Beetles of the subgenus Cratocephalus do not crush, but gnaw the shell.
I once grew C. cicatricosus from Kazakhstan and saw how beetles do it. If I find old photos of gnawed shells, I'll send them to this forum.
