Caelostomus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae. It contains the following species: [1]
Pterostichus is a very large genus of ground beetles with a Holarctic distribution in the subfamily Harpalinae. It has over 1,200 species. The beetles are predatory, but sometimes feed on strawberries. They can be found under rocks and prefer slightly moist, sandy soil although preferences differ between species.
Brachinus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Nearctic, Palearctic, the Near East and North Africa. Beetles in this genus are commonly referred to as bombardier beetles. The genus contains the following species:
Stenolophus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic, the Nearctic, the Near East, and North Africa. It contains the following species:
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.
Hexagonia is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 40 described species in Hexagonia, found in Asia and Africa.
Amblystomus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. Its species are found mainly in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia.
Tetragonoderus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae.

Platyninae is a subfamily of ground beetles.
Euplynes 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.
Abacetus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, distributed across Africa, Asia and Australia, with a single European species. It contains the following species:
Eucamptognathus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
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.
Pterostichini is a tribe of ground beetles in the subfamily Harpalinae. There are about 180 genera and more than 3,800 described species in Pterostichini.
