Abstract

The paper provides first data on the ground-beetle fauna of the Macedonian part of Maleševo Mts. (eastern parts of North Macedonia) collected as a result of a long-term intensive research. The material was collected by hand searching and by pitfall traps in the period of 2010-2019, in different habitat types. In total 685 specimens belonging to 74 species from 32 genera were registered. Among them, 7 Balkan endemic, 4 subendemic, 7 rare and 1 Corine species were registered, emphasizing conservational importance of Maleševo Mts. in North Macedonia. The obtained results supplement the knowledge about the distribution of ground-beetles on the Macedonian side of Maleševo Mountains and emphasize the conservational importance of the mountain as well.
