Andinodontis is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are at least four described species in Andinodontis. [1] [2] [3]
These four species belong to the genus Andinodontis:
Ground beetles are a large, cosmopolitan family of beetles, the Carabidae, with more than 40,000 species worldwide, around 2,000 of which are found in North America and 2,700 in Europe. As of 2015, it is one of the 10 most species-rich animal families. They belong to the Adephaga. Members of the family are primarily carnivorous, but some members are herbivorous or omnivorous.
Harpalinae is the largest subfamily of ground beetles, containing more than 19,000 species worldwide.
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.
Amblygnathus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 20 described species in Amblygnathus.
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.
Nototylinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae. It contains the single genus Nototylus with two species, Nototylus fryi and Nototylus balli which was described in 2020. The first described species fryi was represented by a single specimen from Espiritu Santo where the forests were converted for plantations of sugarcane or cacao, and for cattle rearing. The species is considered likely extinct.
Pseudomorphinae is a subfamily of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are about 12 genera and at least 360 described species in Pseudomorphinae.
Trechinae is a subfamily of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are 6 tribes, more than 430 genera, and over 6,700 described species in Trechinae.
Bembidarenas is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are at least two described species in Bembidarenas, found in South America.
Argentinatachoides balli is a species of beetle in the family Carabidae, the only species in the genus Argentinatachoides.
Inpa is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. This genus has a single species, Inpa psydroides. It is found in Brazil.
Tasmanitachoides is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae, endemic to Australia. The beetles are very small, typically 1.5 to 3.0 mm. in length, and live in coarse sand or fine gravel along freshwater shorelines throughout Australia.
Guyanemorpha is a genus of beetles, the Guyane False-form beetles, in the family Carabidae. It contains one known species, the Spectacular Guyane False-form beetle,, which was found in French Guiana and first described in 2013 by Terry L. Erwin in the open access journal ZooKeys. It was discovered during a survey of the country's insects by the Entomological Society Antilles-Guyane (SEAG).
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.
Bembidion genei is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, found mainly in the Palearctic.
Bembidion levigatum is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Bembidion acticola is a species of beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in the East Coast of the United States.
Lionepha is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are about 11 described species in Lionepha. Members of the genus are found in western North America from Alaska in the north, south to southern California and east to Colorado. The genus is morphologically similar to Bembidion, however they are genetically quite distinct.
Bembidarenini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are 4 genera and more than 30 described species in Bembidarenini. Three of the genera are found in South America and one in Australia.
