The Carabidae beetles with high predatory ability are one of the most important natural enemies to reduce pest populations. A study was carried out for collection and identification of Pterostichinae and Scaritinae subfamilies (Coleptera: Carabidae) in Guilan province, Northern Iran during 2012. In total 6 species belonging to 4 genera and 4 tribes were identified which all of them are as new records for the studied area. The list of identified species is as follow:
Subfamily: Pterostichinae (Bonelli, 1810)
Tribe: Pterostichini (Bonelli, 1810)
1.Pterostichus elongatus (Duftschmid, 1812)
Tribe: Platynini (Bonelli, 1810)
2.Agonum angustatum (Dejean, 1928)
Subfamily: Scaritinae (Bonelli, 1810)
Tribe: Scaritini (Bonelli, 1810)
3.Scarites planus (Bonelli, 1813)
4.Scarites (Parallelomorphus) terricola (Bonelli, 1813)
5.Scarites procerus eurytus (Fischer von Waldheim, 1828)

6.Clivina laevifrons (Chaudoi,. 1842)
