Within the context of the fauna of Spain, this book is the first monograph about the Carabid Coleoptera of a singularly interesting region: Navarra. The book includes a brief description of the physical area, picturing the great climatic contrasts together with the large botanical diversity. There are Boreoalpine, Eurosyberian, Eurasian, Euroatlantic, Euromediterranean, and North-African elements to be found among the rich, very interesting, 266 species of fauna. A second part refers to the present level of knowledge about the carabid beetles in spain. The core of the book is devoted to the species description, captures, bionomy, and geographic distribution. This part includes keys to the subfamilies, genera and species. The excellent drawings, the cartography with precise U.T.M. coordinates and the potential distribution for the Western Palaearctic Region; and the large number of literature references, make this book an indispensable volume.
