ABSTRACT. Based on material, mainly collected by the authors in the Caucasus in 2014−2022, further data are provided on the taxonomy, distribution, and ecology of the known species of the subgenus Eutroctes Zimmermann, 1831 from Georgia and some surrounding areas. Z. adzharicus Samedov, 1954, syn.n. is synonymized with Z. chalceus Faldermann, 1836 and Z. aurichalceus svaneticus Samedov, 1954, syn.n. — with Z. aciculatus (Schaum, 1864). The color illustrations and distribution map are proposed, as well as a key to discussed species.
KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Carabidae, Zabrus, Eutroctes, Caucasus, distribution, new synonyms, illustrated key to species.
