The knowledge of the ground-beetle fauna of Strandzha is currently incomplete, and is largely based on data from the Bulgarian part of the region and on records resulting from casual collecting. This study represents a critical revision of the available literature, museum collections and a three years field study of the carabid beetles of the Bulgarian and Turkish parts of Strandzha Mountain and the adjacent Black Sea Coast territories.
A total of 328 species and subspecies of Carabidae, belonging to 327 species from the region of Strandzha Mountain and adjacent seacoast area, have been listed. Of these, 77 taxa represent new records for the Bulgarian part of the region, and 110 taxa new records for Turkish part of the studied region. Two taxa, one subgenus (Haptotapinus Reitter, 1886) and one species (Pterostichus crassiusculus), are new to the fauna of Bulgaria. Based on a misidentification, the species Apotomus testaceus is excluded from the list of the Bulgarian fauna. Seven species (Carabus violaceus azurescens, Apotomus rufus, Platynus proximus, Molops alpestris kalofericus, M. dilatatus angulicollis, Pterostichus merklii, and Calathus metallicus) are treated as doubtful for the regional fauna, and one (Apotomus rufus) also for the Bulgarian fauna. Altogether, 43 taxa collected in the Turkish part of the region are new for European Turkey. New taxa for Turkey are the genera Myas and Oxypselaphus, the subgenus Feronidius, and nine species and subspecies (Carabus granulatus granulatus, Dyschirius tristis, Bembidion normannum apfelbecki, B. subcostatum vau, Acupalpus exiguus, Myas chalybaeus, Oxypselaphus obscurus, Pterostichus leonisi, Pt. melas). In addition, there are a further seven species that are here confirmed for Turkey.
目前对斯特兰贾地区步甲动物区系的了解尚不完整，主要基于该地区保加利亚部分的数据以及偶然采集的记录。本研究对现有文献、博物馆藏品进行了批判性修订，并对斯特兰贾山保加利亚和土耳其部分以及邻近黑海沿岸地区的步甲进行了为期三年的实地研究。
已列出总共328种步甲科物种和亚种，它们属于斯特兰贾山地区和邻近海岸地区的327种物种。其中，77个分类单元是该地区保加利亚部分的新记录，110个分类单元是研究区域土耳其部分的新记录。两个分类单元，一个亚属（Haptotapinus Reitter，1886）和一个物种（Pterostichus crassiusculus），是保加利亚动物区系的新成员。基于错误鉴定，将Apotomus testaceus物种从保加利亚动物区系名单中排除。七个物种（Carabus violaceus azurescens、Apotomus rufus、Platynus proximus、Molops alpestris kalofericus、M. dilatatus angulicollis、Pterostichus merklii和Calathus metallicus）被视为该地区动物区系的可疑物种，其中一个（Apotomus rufus）对保加利亚动物区系来说也是可疑的。该地区土耳其部分共采集到43个分类单元，对土耳其欧洲部分来说是新的。土耳其的新分类单元有Myas属和Oxypselaphus属、Feronidius亚属，以及九个物种和亚种（Carabus granulatus granulatus、Dyschirius tristis、Bembidion normannum apfelbecki、B. subcostatum vau、Acupalpus exiguus、Myas chalybaeus、Oxypselaphus obscurus、Pterostichus leonisi、Pt. melas）。此外，还有另外七个物种在此被确认为土耳其的物种。
