Carabid Beetles

Abstract

The oldest name for a carabid beetle seems to be “Spoliator” which was used by several medieval authors, supposedly for Calosoma sycophanta L. U. Aldrovandi (1522–1605), in his “De animalibus insectis” (1602) described both this species and Broscus cephalotes L., (and a few other ground beetles, which cannot be confidently identified).

Since George E. Ball, in this Symposium, gives an exposé of the historical development of taxonomy of Carabidae, such points of view are only touched upon in this paper.
