Calosoma is a genus of large ground beetles that occur primarily throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and are referred to as caterpillar hunters or caterpillar searchers. Many of the 167 species are largely or entirely black, but some have bright metallic coloration. They produce a foul-smelling spray from glands near the tip of the abdomen. They are recognizable due to their large thorax, which is almost the size of their abdomen and much wider than their head.
Rhipsideigma is a genus of beetles in the family Cupedidae. It contains five species, four of which are endemic to Madagascar, the other being endemic to the northern coast of Tanzania. They vary in length from 13 mm to 20 mm, and are up to 6 mm wide.
Mordella is the type genus of the tumbling flower beetle family (Mordellidae), its subfamily Mordellinae and the tribe Mordellini. It is widely distributed in the Holarctic and adjacent regions. The larvae are primarily dead wood borers.

Afrotarus is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are about 10 described species in Afrotarus.
Tefflus is a genus of large, black and flightless Afrotropical ground beetles in the tribe Panagaeini. They are broadly similar to the Anthiini ('oogpisters'), but are not colourful, and have a six-sided and flattish pronotum. The distinct longitudinal carinae (ridges) on their elytra are separated by two rows of punctures running along the striae (grooves). Males have some segments of the forelegs enlarged.

Coryza is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Tapinoscaris is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Rhyzodiastes raffrayi is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Antoine Henri Grouvelle in 1895. It is known from the holotype collected on Halmahera, in the Maluku Islands of Indonesia. The holotype measures 5.3 mm (0.21 in) in length.
Myrmecoclytus is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Myrmecoclytus raffrayi is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Fairmaire in 1895.
Belopus is a genus of darkling beetles in the subfamily Lagriinae.
Cyrtonus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Chrysomelinae.
Syagrus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They are known from the mainland of Africa as well as Madagascar. They are often attracted by plants in the family Malvaceae; Syagrus rugifrons and Syagrus calcaratus are pests of cotton. The larvae of Syagrus calcaratus attack the roots of the plant and cause it to wilt.
