The article analyzes the levels of species richness of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) distributed in Northwestern Uzbekistan. The research was carried out during 2018–2025 in natural and anthropogenic habitats of the region. During the study, 150 observations were conducted at 75 sampling sites, and a total of 3930 specimens belonging to 104 taxonomic units were collected. Based on the collected material, the levels of species richness were assessed using a five-point scale depending on the abundance and density of individuals. The results showed that the majority of the fauna consists of rare and moderately distributed species. Species of the first category accounted for 10.6 %, the second category for 50 %, the third category for 33.6 %, and the fourth category for 5.7 %. No species belonging to the fifth category were recorded. The obtained results are important for assessing the bioecological state of the carabid fauna of Northwestern Uzbekistan and the characteristics of their distribution across different habitats.
