1. An image capturing optical lens system comprising four lens elements, the four lens elements being, in order from an object side to an image side along an optical path:
a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element and a fourth lens element;
wherein the second lens element has negative refractive power;
the third lens element has positive refractive power;
the fourth lens element has an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof;
wherein the image capturing optical lens system further comprises an aperture stop disposed between the second lens element and the fourth lens element; a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the third lens element and a curvature radius of an image-side surface of the third lens element have the same sign; an axial distance between the second lens element and the third lens element is greater than an axial distance between the third lens element and the fourth lens element;
wherein an Abbe number of the second lens element is V2, an Abbe number of the third lens element is V3, a central thickness of the first lens element is CT1, a central thickness of the second lens element is CT2, and the following conditions are satisfied:
10<V2+V3<70; and
0.30<CT1/CT2<3.0.
