Background and Purpose: Despite morphological and molecular data analysed so far, phylogenetic relationships of many lineages of genus Carabus Linnaeus 1758 (Carabini, Carabinae, Carabidae) present in Europe, have not been yet fully understood and molecular data have not been fully inte-grated with the morphological classifications. The aim of this research was to: (i) complement the phylogenetic relationships in the systematics of carabids within the genus Carabus with endemic species from Dinaric karst not included so far in molecular systematics research, and to (ii) examine the degree of matching of the molecular data with the existing morphological classifications based on the structure of frontal shields of larvae and the structure of the endophallus in adult specimens. Materials and Methods: In this research, phylogenetic relationships between 31 species from genus Carabus were analysed. Analyses were based on the DNA sequences of mitochondrial gene for cytochrome c oxidase sub-unit I. For phylogenetic inference maximum likelihood and Bayesian anal-ysis methods were used.
