Abstract

The tribe Amarotypini (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Migadopinae) is revised for New Zealand. Three genera and fourteen species are recognized. Two genera and thirteen species are described as new: Amarophilus Larochelle and Larivière new genus, Amarophilus lomondensis Larochelle and Larivière new species, Amarophilus otagoensis Larochelle and Larivière new species, Amarophilus rotundicollis Larochelle and Larivière new species, Amarophilus wanakensis Larochelle and Larivière new species, Amarotypus fiordlandensis Larochelle and Larivière new species, Amarotypus glasgowensis Larochelle and Larivière new species, Amarotypus murchisonorum Larochelle and Larivière new species, Amarotypus simoninensis Larochelle and Larivière new species, Amarotypus takaheensis Larochelle and Larivière new species, Amaroxenus Larochelle and Larivière new genus, Amaroxenus arnaudensis Larochelle and Larivière new species, Amaroxenus glacialis Larochelle and Larivière new species, Amaroxenus huttensis Larochelle and Larivière new species, Amaroxenus kahurangiensis Larochelle and Larivière new species. A revision of all taxa is provided. Descriptions, identification keys, illustrations of male genitalia, habi¬tus photos, distributional data and maps are given. Information on ecology, biology, dispersal power, and collecting techniques is included for each species.
