Abstract (en):
La familia Carabidae es uno de los grupos de coleópteros más grandes en el Mundo, con alrededor de 40000 especies (Erwin 1991), de las cuales 8000 están en la Región Neotropical (Erwin 2003). La familia hace parte del suborden Adephaga y junto con Trachypachidae conforman la subdivisión Geadephaga (Beutel 1998). Estos insectos son básicamente depredadores y ocupan una variedad de hábitats, como ambientes de agua dulce, playas de mar, hendiduras en rocas, cavernas, glaciares de alta montaña, desde el subsuelo a las copas de los árboles (Erwin 1991). Los carábidos son uno de los taxones mejor estudiados debido a su diversidad, larga historia evolutiva, amplio espectro de comportamiento y sensibilidad a cambios ambientales (Erwin et al.1979; Thiele 1977); se han utilizado en trabajos biogeográficos (Erwin et al. 1979), estudios ecológicos (Lövei & Sunderland 1996) y de fragmentación y monitoreos de hábitat (Davies & Margules 1998; Thacker 1996).
