Cratohaerea is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least three described species in Cratohaerea, found in Africa. [1] [2] [3]
These three species belong to the genus Cratohaerea:
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.
Omus dejeani is a species of flightless tiger beetle (Cicindelidae) that is found from British Columbia almost to northern California in dense, coastal forests. It can be found quite commonly in suitable habitats in the spring. It is most often collected with pitfall traps, but can be found walking along trails at night and on cloudy days during the right time.
Calyptoglossa is a genus of tiger beetles. This genus has a single species, Calyptoglossa frontalis, found in Madagascar.
Derocrania is a genus of tiger beetles. There are about 16 described species in Derocrania, found in India and Sri Lanka.
Dilatotarsa is a genus of tiger beetles. There are about eight described species in Dilatotarsa, found in the Pacific islands of Southeast Asia.
Distipsidera is a genus of tiger beetles. There are about 12 described species in Distipsidera, found in Oceania.
Enantiola is a genus of tiger beetles. There are four described species in Enantiola, found in Southeast Asia.
Euprosopus is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least two described species in Euprosopus, found in Brazil.
Eurymorpha is a genus of tiger beetles. This genus has a single species, Eurymorpha cyanipes. It is found in the African countries Angola and Namibia.
Euzona is a genus of tiger beetles found in Australia. It was formed from the breakup of the Cicindela genus, and just like Cylindera, is in a state of dispute. Scientists do not agree whether the genus should be considered as a subgenus of Cicindela or kept in its current taxonomic rank. The genus contains the following species:
Guineica is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least two described species in Guineica, found in Indonesia, New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands.
Langea is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least three described species in Langea.
Manautea is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least four described species in Manautea, found in New Caledonia.
Megalomma is a genus of tiger beetles. There are about five described species in Megalomma.
Neolaphyra is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least four described species in Neolaphyra, found in North Africa.
Nickerlea is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least four described species in Nickerlea, found in Australia.
Orthocindela is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least two described species in Orthocindela.
Pometon is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least two described species in Pometon.
Ronhuberia is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least two described species in Ronhuberia, found in South America.
Habroscelimorpha dorsalis, commonly known as the eastern beach tiger beetle, is a species of flashy tiger beetle in the family Cicindelidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
