Data on the taxonomic composition, distribution, ecology and phylogenetic relationships of 35 species and 20 subspecies of Carabidae endemic to the Sikhote-Alin’ Mountains are given. Of the 32 tribes and 94 genera of ground beetles recorded from the Sikhote-Alin’, only 7 tribes and 11 genera contain endemics. Most endemics are in the tribes Pterostichini (15 species and 9 subspecies), Trechini (10 and 5), Carabini (6 subspecies) and Nebriini (4 species). The tribes Platynini, Zabrini and Lebiini have 2 endemic species each in the Sikhote-Alin’ fauna. Of the 11 genera forming the Sikhote-Alin endemics, Pterostichus Bonelli 1810 encompasses 15 species and 9 subspecies, vs. Trechus Clairville 1806 with 6 species and 5 subspecies, and Carabus Linnaeus 1758 with 6 subspecies. The remaining 8 genera include 14 endemic species: 6 of them in the Sikhote-Alin’ have two endemic species each, while two genera are with one endemic species each.
