Cintaromorpha gen. n. and C. dacatrai sp. n. from Pakistan are described. The new genus is similar to Cintaroa aptera Kasahara in the shape and structure of the ligula and paraglossae, but the two genera can be readily separated by the shape of the head and pronotum. The new genus differs from all other panagaeine genera by combination of large size, long legs, en- tirely black coloration, elongate ligula, transverse tooth of mentum, and simple, uncleft fourth tarsomeres.

Lore Geeraert Photo taken by author (September 2013) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Fred Midtgaard (professor at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences), for all his help and advice prior to and during my fieldwork, as well as during my writing process. He always provided me positive support, and generous amounts of time. A special thanks also goes to my co-supervisor, Seif Madoffe (professor at the Sokoine University of Agriculture in Morogoro, Tanzania), for his time and help during my fieldwork. His warm African personality was both very helpful and enriching. I would like to thank Thrond Oddvar Haugen, for spending a lot of time helping me out with my statistical analyses, even though his schedule was already fully booked. Also Rafael Leandro de Assis, Markus Sydenham, and Sam Steyaert provided me help with, and new knowledge about, statistically analysing my data. I am also thankful to Endre Hofstad Hansen for providing help during the preparations of my fieldwork. I am grateful to the Department of Ecology and Natural Resource Management (INA) of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and to the CCIAM-program for financially supporting my fieldwork. I would like to thank Kijazi Mwanaidi, the conservator of the Amani Nature Reserve, and the complete Amani Nature Reserve crew for their incredibly warm friendship and support during my fieldwork.

In this checklist of the subfamily Panagaeinae (Coleoptera: Carabidae) we summarize taxonomic data including synonyms, type localities and geographic distributions of all listed species described up to July 2012. The subfamily (or according to various authors “group of tribes“) includes in this work the following tribes: Bascanini Basilewsky, 1953a, Brachygnathini Basilewsky, 1946, Panagaeini Bonelli, 1810 and Peleciini Chaudoir, 1880, together divided into 29 genera and 375 species. INTRODUCTION The family Carabidae (Coleoptera: Adephaga) contains more than 35 000 species and is one of the most successful groups of beetles found in all geographic regions and environments with the exception of polar areas. After a positive response to the catalogue of the tribe Broscini Hope, 1838 (Häckel, Farkač & Wrase 2010), we decided to continue publishing such catalogues and chose next to compile another less frequented subfamily, the Panagaeinae Hope, 1838. The species of this subfamily inhabit mainly tropical regions (Ethiopian, Neotropical, Oriental and tropical part of Australia), but distributions of some representatives of the tribe Panagaeini Bonelli, 1810 (namely the genera Dischissus, Micrixys, Microcosmodes, Panagaeus, Peronomerus and Tinoderus) often extend into the Holarctic region, with the highest diversity outside of the tropics recorded in the eastern part of the Palearctic subregion.

Types of Craspedophorus cereus MacLeay, 1825 deposited at BMNH and Dischissus chaudoiri Andrewes, 1919 deposited at MNHN, both of uncertain taxonomic position were studied. Comparison of these types with types of other Indonesian species of Craspedophorus Hope, 1838 permits to place these two species in the system of groups sensu Häckel et Kirschenhofer 2014a and 2014b. The Dischissus borneensis group is proposed for three species inhabiting Java, Borneo and the Malaysian part of Borneo. Craspedophorus cereus MacLeay, 1825 is assigned to the C. microspilotus Kirschenhofer, 2000 group and a new subgroup of the same name, and its distributional limits are redefined.Craspedophorus austronesiensis Häckel et Kirschenhofer, 2014b is demoted to a subspecies of C. cereus MacLeay, 1825. INTRODUCTION The study of these two species has been confused due to erroneous interpretations of taxonomic and geographic data presented by previous authors. Much of the confusion was cleared by Andrewes (1919), who split the species into two genera, designated lectotypes and provided their redescriptions. Andrewes‘ revision was part of a study of types deposited in British museums, for which reason he did not comment much on faunistic data and on opinions or errors made by previous authors concerning the geographic distributions of the two newly defined species.
