ABSTRACT. A list of 76 Carabidae species from 21 genera is presented for the central part of the Badzhal Range, Khabarovskii Krai, Russia on the basis of an examination of c. 2000 specimens. The altitudinal-zonal distribution of ground beetle populations along the Omot-Makit River basin in central part of the ridge is analyzed. Representatives of the genera Pterostichus and Carabus are predominate in the zonal biotopes. The fauna of carabid beetles of the Badzhal Range is characterized as «Arctic-montane» according to the generic composition, with a high number of East Asian boreal-montane endemic species.
