The Australian Clivinini (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Scaritinae) (parts 3-4).

喜湿的澳大利亚Clivinini和树栖的澳大利亚Sarothrocrepis属、Phloeocarabus属和trigonthoops属的分类和生物地理。对上述类群的分类进行修订，包括对许多新种的描述，对已描述的物种的重新描述和对物种的检索。检查属的系统发育关系，属内的种群和种，它们的起源和分布历史。对于在澳大利亚以外也有代表的三个树栖属，澳大利亚以外物种的系统发育和生物地理关系。重要的问题是：对于Clivinini来说：从嗜水习性到生活在远离水的热带和亚热带开阔森林和大草原的地面生活的变化。对于树栖属，原始习性的问题：要么在开阔森林、林地和大草原的桉树树皮下，要么在雨林树木的树皮或树干上的苔藓上。

Taxonomy and biogeography of the hygrophilous Australian Clivinini, and of the arboricolous Australian genera Sarothrocrepis, Phloeocarabus, and Trigonothops. Taxonomic revision of the mentioned groups with description of numerous new species, redescription of the already described species and preparation of keys to the species.Examination of the phylogenetiic relations of the genera, and the species-groups and species within the genera, of their origin and the history of distribution. For the three arboricolous genera, which have representatives also outside of Australia, the phylogenetic und biogeographic relations of the extra-Australian species.Important questions are:For Clivinini: the change from hygrophilous habits to life at the ground in tropical and subtropical open forests ansdsavannahs away from water. For the arboricolous genera the question of the original habits: either under bark of eucalypts in open forest, woodland, and savannah, or on bark or in moss on the trunks of rain forest trees.
