Carabus sternbergi is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Carabinae, which was first described in 1898 by German entomologist, Hans Roeschke. In South Korea, the accepted name may be Eucarabus sternbergi. (See the species list below.)
It is found in China, North Korea, and South Korea. Six subspecies are listed as valid in Löbl & Löbl, 2017 catalog (p.99-100). These are also listed as valid in the Catalog of Life [from Carabcat], then linked to GBIF. Carabus sternbergi gureopensis J.K. & J.Park, 2013
Currently (Aug. 2026), Catalog of Life "extended release" [from Carabcat plus Zoobank, etc] plus GBIF lists a total of 10 subspecies: Carabus sternbergi cartereti Deuve, 1982 [Only listed via Zoobank, after 2025, but elsewhere as valid species, e.g. in Löbl & Löbl, 2017: 96] Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Carabus sternbergi sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 460th most-seen of the 525 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Carabus sternbergi in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months. That is one of Seoul's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain against 360 mm in July.
Only Seoul, in our data
Seoul is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Carabus sternbergi sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Carabus sternbergi is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (6 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
