Agostinia is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species: [1]
René Jeannel was a French entomologist. He was director of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle from 1945 to 1951. Jeannel's most important work was on the insect fauna of caves in the Pyrenees, France and in the Carpathians, Romania. He also worked in Africa. Jeannel specialised in Leiodidae but authored a large number of papers and works on other Coleoptera. He was a member of the Romanian Academy.
Bembidion is the largest genus of beetles in the family Carabidae by number of species. All species are small and move very fast. Most of them live close to water. The genus has a biantitropical distribution, meaning they are found in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, but not in the tropics. In warmer regions it is substituted by closely related Tachys and other genera.
Trechus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic and the Near East. There are more than 1,000 described species in Trechus.
Acupalpus is a genus of insect-eating beetle species. Its representatives are found across Europe, Asia, and North America.
Lebia is a genus of predatory ground beetles. Common names include colorful foliage ground beetles and flat ground beetles. They are found worldwide and there over 700 species in 17 subgenera.
Dryptinae is a subfamily of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 30 genera and 570 described species in Dryptinae.
Tetragonoderus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Licininae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following genera:
Platyninae is a subfamily of ground beetles.
Agonidium is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
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.
Caelostomus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae. It contains the following species:
Eucamptognathus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Scaritinae is a large subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing more than 2400 species in over 140 genera. They are found worldwide.
Argiloborus is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 50 described species in Argiloborus.
Aphaenops is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species: All species in the genus are obligate troglobites, and each species is usually endemic to a single cave system; they are unpigmented, and have no functional eyes.
Bembidiini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 120 genera and 3,100 described species in Bembidiini.
Harpalini is a tribe of a diverse group of ground beetles belonging to the subfamily Harpalinae within the broader family Carabidae. The tribe contains more than 1,900 species.
Lebiini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 250 genera and 4,800 described species in Lebiini.
