The tribe Broscini is a worldwide group of beetles in the Broscinae subfamily of Carabidae (the ground beetles).
Broscini is divided into five subtribes: [1] [2]
Cryptinae is a subfamily of wasps in the family Ichneumonidae. The family has also been called Gelinae, Hemitelinae, and Phygadeuontinae by various authorities, though the Phygadeuontinae have since been elevated to a separate subfamily.
Mecodema is a genus of large flightless ground beetle (Carabidae) endemic to New Zealand. The genus is very diverse in comparison to the other three New Zealand genera within the subtribe Nothobroscina. Mecodema is geographically widespread across both the North and South Islands, as well as numerous offshore islands, including the Three Kings Is., Poor Knights Is., Aotea and Hauturu, Kapiti Is., Stephens Is., Stewart Is., Chatham Is., Snares Is.
Ant nest beetles or paussines, some members of which are known also as flanged bombardier beetles, are a large subfamily within the ground beetles (Carabidae).The tribes Metriini, Ozaenini, Paussini and Protopaussini are included in the subfamily.
Ozaenini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 20 genera and 230 described species in Ozaenini. They are found in North, Central, and South America. Most species inhabit tropical regions.
Anthiinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following genera:
Mecodema antarcticum is a carnivorous carabid beetle that burrows in sand above the high tide mark on New Zealand sandy beaches. First described by Francis de Laporte de Castelnau in 1867 as Brullea antarctica, it has since been reassigned to Mecodema.
Eobroscus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae which was circumscribed by Oleg Leonidovich Kryzhanovsky in 1951. Its species are found in Russia, China, Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Bhutan, and Vietnam. As of 2017, it contains the following three species:
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.
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.
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.
Mecodema aoteanoho is a medium-sized ground beetle, the only such beetle endemic to Great Barrier Island (Aotea), Hauraki Gulf, Auckland, New Zealand. Mecodema aoteanoho is a sister species to M. haunoho and is closely related to the Coromandel (mainland) species, M. atrox, all of which are species within the monophyletic curvidens group. There are a number of other characters that distinguish M. aoteanoho from all other North Island Mecodema, especially the pattern of the striations on the elytra.
Zabrini is a tribe of ground beetles in the subfamily Pterostichinae of beetle family Carabidae, found mainly in North America and Europe. There are more than 750 described species in three genera of Zabrini, more than 600 of which are in the genus Amara.
Phygadeuontini is a tribe of ichneumon wasps in the family Ichneumonidae. It is the only tribe in the subfamily Phygadeuontinae. There are about 123 genera in 12 subtribes worldwide.
Stenolophina is a subtribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are about 9 genera and at least 50 described species in Stenolophina.
Mecodema longicolle is an endemic New Zealand ground beetle, and one of the few Mecodema species found in both the North Island and South Island.
Nothobroscina Roig-Juñent 2000 is one of five subtribes within the ground beetle tribe Broscini. The subtribe consists of ten genera from the Gondwanan countries: Australia, New Caledonia, New Zealand and southern South America. All of these genera are endemic to their respective country, i.e., none of the genera are shared across any of the Gondwanan countries.
The subtribe Axonyina is a group of beetles in the Broscini tribe of Carabidae.
The subtribe Broscina is a group of beetles in the Broscini tribe of Carabidae.
The subtribe Barypina is a group of beetles in the Broscini tribe of Carabidae and is found throughout South America.
The subtribe Creobiina is a group of beetles in the Broscini tribe of Carabidae and is found in Australia, New Zealand and South America.
