The genus contains the following species: [1]
Photuris is a genus of fireflies. These are the femme fatale lightning bugs of North America. This common name refers to a behavior of the adult females of these predatory beetles; they engage in aggressive mimicry, imitating the light signals of other firefly species' females to attract, kill, and eat the males. Their flashing bioluminescent signals seem to have evolved independently and eventually adapted to those of their prey, mainly unrelated Lampyrinae, such as Photinus or Pyractomena.
Agathidium is a genus of beetles in the family Leiodidae.
Moneilema, or cactus longhorn beetles are a genus of large, flightless, black beetles found in North American deserts of the western United States and northern Mexico. M. gigas is native to the Sonoran Desert at elevations below 4900 feet (1500m). The front wings of these beetles are fused forming a single, hardened shell, from which the genus derives its Latin name. The genus includes twenty species.
Hygrotus is a genus of beetle in family Dytiscidae. It contains two subgenera and about 70 species, including:
Gyrinus is a genus of small aquatic whirligig beetles in the family Gyrinidae native to the Palearctic, the Near East, the Nearctic, North Africa, Asia and Australia.
Notoxus is a large genus of beetles that resemble ants. It comprises about 300 species worldwide.
Elaphrus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are at least 40 described species in Elaphrus.
Hydrochus is the only living genus of beetle in the family Hydrochidae, which belongs to the superfamily Hydrophiloidea, and was formerly treated as a subfamily of Hydrophilidae. Hydrochus includes about 180 species, which are found worldwide. The name "Hydrochus" has also been used for a fly genus in the family Dolichopodidae, but this is a junior subjective synonym of the genus Rhaphium.
Peltodytes is a genus of water beetle which is native to the Nearctic, Europe, the Near East, and North Africa. Peltodytes can generally be differentiated from the similar Haliplus by the presence of a pair of spots on the posterior margin of the pronotum. The genus Peltodytes contains the following species:
Ellipsoptera is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are about 13 described species in Ellipsoptera, found in North America.
Lepturges is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Henry Walter Bates in 1863.
Ilybiosoma is a genus of beetles in the family Dytiscidae, containing the following species:
Xestoleptura is a genus of flower longhorn beetles in the family Cerambycidae.
Eupogonius is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described in Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia by John Lawrence LeConte in 1852. The species are found across Eastern North America south to Argentina in forests and woodlots.
Synaphaeta is a monotypic beetle genus in the family Cerambycidae first described by Thomson in 1864. Its only species, Synaphaeta guexi, occurs in the Pacific states of North America, from British Columbia down to California. It has been reared from a variety of hardwood trees, including Pacific willow , white alder , coffeeberry , English walnut , and cherry . It was described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1852 based on a specimen from Benicia, California.
Tetraopes is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, tribe Tetraopini, containing the following species:
Hyperaspidius is a genus in the family Coccinellidae. There are at least 20 described species in Hyperaspidius.
Phyllobaenus is a genus of checkered beetles in the family Cleridae. There are at least 60 described species in Phyllobaenus.
Clypastraea is a genus of minute hooded beetles in the family Corylophidae. There are more than 20 described species in Clypastraea.
Sericoderus is a genus of minute hooded beetles in the family Corylophidae. There are about 12 described species in Sericoderus.
