The Indian Platyninae – A Checklist (Coleoptera: Carabidae)
View through CrossRef
An updated checklist of 188 species of the Platyninae (with 139 species under Platynini and 49 species under Sphodrini) known in the Indian subcontinent, along with details of the revisions, literature, and distribution patterns is provided. One hundred twenty-five species of these occur only in the Indian landmass, with 89 in the Platynini and 36 in the Sphodrini. Of the 125 Indian species, 94 occur within the Palaearctic region in India, 22 in the Oriental, and five in both Oriental and Palaearctic regions. Among the 125 Indian species, 111 are endemic to three global hotspots of biodiversity in the Indian subcontinent: (i) 96 endemic to the Himalaya, (ii) eight to the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka, and (iii) seven to the Indo-Burma hotspot of biodiversity. Five genera are endemic to the Indian mainland, and 10 genera to the Himalaya hotspot of biodiversity.
