<i>Guatemalteca</i> Genus of beetles

Guatemalteca is a genus of beetle in the family Carabidae. As of 2017, its only described species is its type species, Guatemalteca virgen. When Terry Erwin named the genus in 2004, he placed it in the tribe Lachnophorini; in 2014 he and Laura S. Zamorano placed it in the subtribe Eucaerina.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pterostichinae</span> Subfamily of beetles

Pterostichinae is a subfamily of ground beetles. It belongs to the advanced harpaline assemblage, and if these are circumscribed sensu lato as a single subfamily, Pterostichinae are downranked to a tribe Pterostichini. However, as the former Pterostichitae supertribe of the Harpalinae as loosely circumscribed does seem to constitute a lineage rather distinct from Harpalus, its core group is here considered to be the present subfamily and the Harpalinae are defined more narrowly.

Rhysodinae is a subfamily in the family Carabidae. There are 19 genera and at least 380 described species in Rhysodinae. The group of genera making up Rhysodinae had been treated as the family Rhysodidae in the past, and subsequent DNA analysis then placed it within Carabidae, where it was sometimes treated as the tribe Rhysodini, but the most recent analyses place it as a subfamily in a clade along with subfamilies Paussinae and Siagoninae, forming a sister to the remaining Carabidae.

Ross Taylor Bell was an American entomologist with particular interest in the invertebrate natural history of Vermont, United States, and carabid beetles. Together with his wife, Joyce Rockenbach Bell, his work at the University of Vermont was largely taxonomic, where they described more than 75% of the rhysodine species known to science. Ross also wrote a number of seminal papers in his chosen field.

<i>Sphodrus leucophthalmus</i> Species of beetle

Sphodrus leucophthalmus is a species of ground beetle native to Europe.Západopalearktický,stenotermní druh Tribu Sphodrini,žijící prvotně v hnízdech větších savců;např.jezevec,liška,.druhotně ve starých sklepích,stájích,komorách a jiných vlhkých prostorách s hliněnou podlahou.Jako potravu upřednostňuje brouky z čeledi tenebrionidae ,a jejich larvy.Velikost dosti kolísá,od 23 do 40 mm.Tento druh byl v minulosti celkem obvyklý,avšak rapidním úbytkem jeho druhotných biotopů,a skrytým způsobem života v prvotních hnízdech savců,se stal velmi vzácným,až téměř vymírajícím elementem.Imaga ponejvíce na podzim,/září ,říjen/.Vzhledem ke skrytému způsobu života je záměna možná s druhy rodu Laemostenus/Pristonychus/, případně s Dolichus halensis/,carabidae:Platynini/,nebo s Pterostichus niger/carabidae:Pterostichini/. Western palearctic, stenothermal species of the tribe Sphodrini, living primarily in the nests of larger mammals; e.g. badger, fox, secondarily in old cellars, stables, chambers and other damp spaces with a clay floor. As food, it prefers beetles from the tenebrionidae family and their larvae. Size it fluctuates a lot, from 23 to 40 mm. This species was quite common in the past, but due to the rapid decline of its secondary habitats and the hidden way of life in the primitive nests of mammals, it has become a very rare, almost extinct element. Imaga mostly in autumn/September ,October/.Due to the hidden way of life, confusion is possible with species of the genus Laemostenus/Pristonychus/, possibly with Dolichus halensis/,carabidae:Platynini/, or with Pterostichus niger/carabidae:Pterostichini
