Introduction

The present list of species recorded from West Papua is principally based on P. J. Darlington’s monumental work “The Carabid Beetles of New Guinea” which was printed in four parts between 1952 and 1971, and on the material which I identified, or mentioned and described in a number of descriptive and revisionary papers. It only includes printed records. Apart from that, certainly the list is quite incomplete for a number of other reasons:
1. Only a part of the material of West Papuan Carabidae present in collections has been examined by me and probably not all published records are noted herein. Examination of specimens stored in a number of large museum collections (Natural History Museum, Museum National de l’Histoire Naturelle, B. P. Bishop Museum, Museum of Comparative Zoology, and others) certainly would raise the number of species recorded. At present, however, this is outside of the scope of this list.
2. Even with the recent exploration of several areas within West Papua by a number of German, Dutch, Italian, American and other collectors, knowledge of the carabid fauna of New Guinea in general, and of that of West Papua in particular, still is very unsatisfactory and certainly some species recorded so far only from the eastern half of New Guinea (Papua New Guinea) in future will be detected in the western half (West Papua) and vice versa, which means that the number of already described species occurring in West Papua most probably will raise, but the number of endemic ones among these will decrease.
3. In general, the carabid fauna of West Papua still is much less represented in collections and therefore even less known than that of Papua New Guinea, and moreover, the representation of tribes in collections and in the literature is rather unbalanced. This is due to the still much poorer exploration of West Papua as compared with Papua New Guinea which was sampled by many more collectors not only in early times, but also during the second half of last Century.
4. Although the exploration of West Papua in recent times was much improved through expeditions conducted by a number of keen collectors, large areas in both parts of New Guinea have been left almost untouched and most collectors are visiting well known, rather easily accessible, and relatively safe regions.
5. Almost all recent material which I have examined was sampled by non-carabidologists, namely collectors of Lepidoptera and of diverse groups of non-carabid Coleoptera (weevils, longicorn beetles, water beetles, and else). Therefore sampling methods suitable for carabid beetles were rarely conducted, or these collectors brought in rather carabid beetles of certain life style types. Sampling by use of pitfall traps, digging in the ground, collecting in sand and gravel near water, fogging canopy or tree trunks, and collecting at blacklight was little or not conducted and therefore certain carabid groups are much underrepresented in the samples of the mentioned collectors.
6. Recent revisions of certain genera reveal the existence of very large numbers of species in addition to those mentioned or described by Darlington. Hence already the complete revision of the material existing in collections certainly would multiply the number of species in many genera. Dissections of male genitalia in material of some of the larger genera available to me and conducted by me recently (e.g. Clivina, Tachys, Prosopogmus, Altagonum, Maculagonum, Notagonum, Catascopus, Demetrida) reveal a multitude of externally very similar species that exhibit striking differences in their genitalia and hence represent many additional species.

Conclusion

Although Darlington’s monumental revision covers almost 700 carabid species for whole New Guinea, I estimate the actually existing number at least twice but perhaps even three times as large. Hence the number of species occurring in West Papua most probably is well over 1.000, whereas the list below at present covers 532 taxa (species and subspecies) as recorded from West Papua.
