Abstract - Observations on the subspecific systematics of Nebria (Oreonebria) diaphana K. Daniel & J. Daniel, 1890 and description of N. (O.) mondini n. sp. from the Oriental Alps (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Nebriini) - After the examination of abundant material of Nebria (Oreonebria) diaphana K. Daniel & J. Daniel, 1890, the subspecific systematics of the species is reviewed, defining the ranges of all the known subspecies, and synonymizing the subsp. venetiana Pomini, 1938 with the subsp. bohiniensis Müller, 1926. The variability and the taxonomic value of some diagnostic characters are also discussed, and Nebria (Oreonebria) mondini, new species from Mount Cavallo (Pordenone-Belluno), is described. The new species is related to the syntopic N. (O.) diaphana, but it shows constantly larger size and different aedeagus and pronotal shape.
