Tamutis, V. & Barsevskis, A. 2014: A faunistic review of ground beetles of Lebiinae Bonelli, 1810 (Coleoptera: Carabidae) of Lithuania. — Entomol. Fen- nica 25: 65—85.

The paper presents the first review on species composition and distribution of ground beetles of Lebiinae Bonelli, 1810, subfamily (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in Lithuania. During the study, all available related published sources have been re- viewed. A total of482 records have been analyzed and more than 700 specimens collected since 1923 have been examined. Lebiinae subfamily is presented by 2 tribes in Lithuania. The tribe Odocanthini is monotypical with a single species. The other one, tribe, is more diverse, represented by 4 subtribes, 7 genera and 24 species. The information on distribution, frequency and some features of ecology and zoogeography of 25 Lebiinae species found in Lithuanian is de- tailed. atricapillus (Linnaeus, 1758) is reported for the first time for Lithuanian fauna and notatus (Stephens, 1827) is removed from the list of Lithuanian beetles.
