Cheilonycha is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least three described species in Cheilonycha. [1] [2]
These three species belong to the genus Cheilonycha:
Tiger beetles are a family of beetles, Cicindelidae, known for their aggressive predatory habits and running speed. The fastest known species of tiger beetle, Rivacindela hudsoni, can run at a speed of 9 km/h, or about 125 body lengths per second. As of 2005, about 2,600 species and subspecies were known, with the richest diversity in the Oriental (Indo-Malayan) region, followed by the Neotropics. While historically treated as a subfamily of ground beetles (Carabidae) under the name Cicindelinae, several studies since 2020 indicated that they should be treated as a family, the Cicindelidae, which are a sister group to Carabidae within the Adephaga.
Apteroessa grossa is a species of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae, the sole species in the genus Apteroessa and described on the basis of a specimen from the Coromandel region (Tranquebar) in southern India. It is somewhat large and robust, and is among the few tiger beetles with highly reduced wings (aptery) making them flightless. There are three known specimens in museums, with varying degrees of damage. The species has not been seen in the wild after its description in the 18th century and is thought to be extremely local in distribution.
Brasiella is a genus of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae. There are more than 50 described species in Brasiella.
Cenothyla is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are seven described species in Cenothyla.
Chaetodera is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are about seven described species in Chaetodera.
Diastrophella is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. This genus has a single species, Diastrophella pauliani, found on the island of Réunion.
Ellipsoptera is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are about 13 described species in Ellipsoptera, found in North America.
Habroscelimorpha is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are about seven described species in Habroscelimorpha.
Macfarlandia is a genus of tiger beetles with a single species, Macfarlandia arachnoides. Tiger beetles are placed either in the family Carabidae or in their own family, Cicindelidae, depending on the author.
Micromentignatha is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least three described species in Micromentignatha.
Oxycheila is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are more than 50 described species in Oxycheila.
Oxycheilopsis is an extinct genus of beetles in the family Cicindelidae, containing only one known species, Oxycheilopsis cretacicus. It is known from the Early Cretaceous (Aptian) Santana Formation of Brazil.
Peridexia is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least four described species in Peridexia, found in Madagascar.
Platychile pallida is a species of beetle in the family Cicindelidae, the only species in the genus Platychile.

Sumlinia is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least two described species in Sumlinia.
Grammognatha euphratica is a species of beetle in the family Cicindelidae, the only species in the genus Grammognatha. It is found in the Mediterranean countries, southern Europe, and southwestern Asia.
Eulampra is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae with a single species, Eulampra miranda. It is found in Paraguay and Brazil.
Jundlandia is a genus of flashy tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae. This genus has a single species, Jundlandia lemniscata, the white-striped tiger beetle.
