Molopsida debilis (Sharp, 1886) = Trichopsida debilis (Sharp, 1886); Molopsida<br />
diversa (Broun, 1917) = Trichopsida diversa (Broun, 1917); Molopsida optata<br />
(Broun, 1917) = Trichopsida optata (Broun, 1917); Molopsida oxygona (Broun,<br />

Trichopsida robusta (Broun, 1921); and Molopsida simplex (Broun, 1903) =<br />
Trichopsida simplex (Broun, 1903).<br />
Thirteen new synonymies are established (valid names listed after equal<br />
sign): Sympiestus fallax Broun, 1893 and Sympiestus frontalis Broun, 1917 =<br />
Selenochilus syntheticus (Sharp, 1886); Tropopterus sulcicollis Bates, 1874<br />

Tarastethus halli Broun, 1917 = Trichopsida diversa (Broun, 1917); and<br />
Tarastethus cinctus Broun, 1893 = Trichopsida oxygona (Broun, 1886).<br />
The species Carabus nemoralis O. F. Müller, 1764 is deleted from the <strong>New</strong><br />
<strong>Zealand</strong> fauna. The Rhysodini (four genera, six species) are catalogued as a<br />
carabid tribe for the first time in the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> literature.<br />
An updated checklist <strong>of</strong> the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> Carabidae fauna, known from<br />
7 subfamilies, 20 tribes, 97 genera, 518 species, and 18 subspecies, is also<br />
provided.<br />

CHECKLIST OF TAXA<br />
Notes. The higher classification follows Larochelle &<br />

are listed alphabetically (A=Adventive; E=Endemic;<br />
N=Native, but not endemic to <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong>).<br />
