stop z-russism! Stop war!
Over the last 40 years, a huge number of taxa have been described in the genus Carabus.
Unfortunately, most of them were described by amateurs, often for self-love or commercial purposes. Most types deposited in private collections, which makes a classical revision of the genus with synonymization of fictitious taxa in accordance with the Code of Zoological Nomenclature almost impossible.
In our database, all weak species, subspecies and obvious synonyms in Carabus will be listed as synonyms.

Stop describing fake species!
Under each stone does not live another species new to science.
If you follow the logic of some "specialists", then Homo sapiens can be divided into several species, and dogs into several genera.

Recently was published excellent paper of Fominykh, Zamotajlov, Khomitskiy & Titarenko, 2020 "Contribution to the knowledge of Carabus (Lipaster) stjernvalli Mannerheim, 1830 in the Caucasus, with description of two new subspecies (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Carabini)", "dedicated to study of variability of species Carabus (Lipaster) stjernvalli", although, in fact, the sole purpose of the work was to describe new taxa in order to sell their Paratypes.
But, this work perfectly proves that there are no differences between the previously described subspecies, as well as the newly described ones. New synonymy in the species Carabus (Lipaster) stjernvalli proposed here 12.2.2020 by A. Anichtchenko
