Cicindelini is a tribe of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae, containing the overwhelming majority (around 80%) of genera and species in the family. There are more than 90 genera and 2,000 described species in Cicindelini. [1] [2] [3] [4]
These 93 genera belong to the tribe Cicindelini: [2]
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.
Pentacomia is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are more than 50 described species in Pentacomia, found in Central and South America.
Lophyra is a genus of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae capable of flight. They are found in Africa, Asia, and Europe
Brasiella is a genus of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae. There are more than 50 described species in Brasiella.
Dromica is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least 190 described species in Dromica, found in Africa.
Megacephala is a small genus of beetles in the family Cicindelidae restricted to Africa; it was formerly a much larger genus, but its constituent species have been subsequently placed in other genera, primarily Tetracha, but also Grammognatha, Metriocheila, Phaeoxantha, and Pseudotetracha.
Myriochila is a genus of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae, containing the following species:
Oxycheila is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are more than 50 described species in Oxycheila.
Physodeutera is a genus of Tiger Beetles endemic to Madagascar. There are more than 60 described species in Physodeutera.
Pogonostoma is a genus of Tiger Beetles endemic to Madagascar.
Polyrhanis is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are more than 50 described species in Polyrhanis.
Prothyma is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are more than 40 described species in Prothyma.
Pseudoxycheila is a genus of beetles in the family Cicindelidae, containing the following species:
Tricondyla is a genus of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae. There are more than 40 described species in Tricondyla, found in South and Southeast Asia, and in Oceania.
Licininae is a subfamily of in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are more than 80 genera and 1,800 described species in Licininae.
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.
Megacephalini is a tribe of big-headed tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae.
