Cychrus pangi is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily of Carabinae. [1] It was described by Deuve & Tian in 2004. [1]

Etymology

Uncertain, possibly from Cychreus, son of Poseidon and Salamis, or from Cychros, a city in Thrace near a lake whose water was unhealthy. Duméril (1823: 167) stated that Cychros was the name of a bird (probably in Pliny the Elder), but this hasn't been proven. [2]

<i>Carabus</i> Genus of beetles

Carabus is a genus of beetles in family Carabidae. The genus is highly diverse with 94 subgenera, 959 species and 2300 subspecies, thus is the largest genus in the subfamily Carabinae. The vast majority are native to the Palearctic, but 16 Nearctic species are also known. Carabus spp. are 12–50 mm (0.47–1.97 in) long, and most species are wingless and often very colourful. These are nocturnal, predatory beetles that feed on snails, earthworms, and caterpillars. Most Carabus species were thought to have inhabited the Eurasian forest, but the species' low dispersal abilities altered the distribution of lineages within the genus.
