Tetragonoderus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Senegalensis and its alternative form senegalense are Latin adjectival suffixes meaning pertaining to, or originating in Senegal. They are often used as the second word of a binomial name.
Metius is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Calosoma anthracinum is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily of Carabinae. It was described by Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean in 1831.
Calosoma chlorostictum is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily of Carabinae. It was described by Dejean in 1831.
Calosoma glabratum is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily of Carabinae. It was described by Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean in 1831.
Calosoma laeve is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily of Carabinae. It was described by Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean in 1826.
Calosoma olivieri is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily of Carabinae. It was described by Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean in 1831.
Calosoma rufipenne is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily of Carabinae. It was described by Dejean in 1831.
Calosoma sayi, also known as "Say's caterpillar hunter or "Black Caterpillar Hunter", is a species of ground beetle of the subfamily Carabinae. It was described by Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean in 1826. A large, lustrous black beetle found throughout the United States, its habitat is fields and disturbed areas. About 25mm to 28mm long, its grooved elytra have rows of metallic dots or pits. Said pits are smaller than many Calosoma, and are ruby red. Both larvae and adults prey upon other larvae and pupae, specifically those of grubs, flies, and lepidoptera.
Calosoma splendidum is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily of Carabinae. It was described by the famous French entomologist Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean in 1831, and is found in the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic and Haiti. It was also recorded from Guantánamo, Cuba, Floridian cities such as Chokoloskee, Deltona, and Key West. Besides the Caribbean and Florida, it was recorded from Clarke County, Georgia, Texas, and even the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. The species is 22–25 millimetres (0.87–0.98 in) long. The color of the upper body of C. splendidum is uniformly green, golden-green or light brown with green luster. It is easily distinguished from any other species of the subgenus Calodrepa because of the absence of red border on the lateral margin of the elytra.
Calosoma vagans is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily of Carabinae. It was described by Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean.
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.
