We report on four new country records of tiger beetles in Paraguay and 22 new departmental records based on specimens in Paraguayan collections. We also provide substantial increases to the knowledge on distributions of numerous species in the country through additional specimen records. The first tiger beetle records from south- western Ñeembucú are also provided. New country records are illustrated and comments on previous works dealing with the Paraguayan Cicindelid fauna are summarised.
