Cyclotrachelus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 40 described species in Cyclotrachelus, found in North America. [1] [2] [3]
These 46 species belong to the genus Cyclotrachelus:
Cicindela, commonly known as common tiger beetles, are generally brightly colored and metallic beetles, often with some sort of patterning of ivory or cream-colored markings. They are most abundant and diverse in habitats very often near bodies of water with sandy or occasionally clay soils; they can be found along rivers, sea and lake shores, sand dunes, around dry lakebeds, on clay banks, or woodland paths.
Harpalus is a genus of ground beetle first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1802.
Agonum is a large genus of ground beetles in the subfamily Harpalinae, tribe Platynini. They are mid-sized to smallish beetles, typically with dark metallic hues – often reddish or bronze, but sometimes black, green etc.
Pterostichus is a very large genus of ground beetles with a Holarctic distribution in the subfamily Harpalinae. It has over 1,200 species. The beetles are predatory, but sometimes feed on strawberries. They can be found under rocks and prefer slightly moist, sandy soil although preferences differ between species.
Notiophilus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic, the Nearctic, the Near East and North Africa. Most known for their distinctive head shape and size-body ratio the genus is sometimes referred to as the springtail stalkers.
Badister is a genus of ground beetle in the family Carabidae native to North Africa, the Near East, and the Holarctic, including Europe.
Poecilus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Afro-tropical, the Palearctic, the Near East, North Africa, and North America regions.
Stenolophus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 190 described species in the genus Stenolophus.
Scaphinotus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae. There are at least 60 species, all native to North America. They eat snails and are generally limited to the moist environments where snails live. These beetles are flightless.
Bradycellus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 120 described species in Bradycellus.
Platynus is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 180 described species in Platynus.
Pasimachus is a genus of North American beetles in the family Carabidae
Pterostichini is a tribe of ground beetles in the subfamily Harpalinae. There are about 180 genera and more than 3,800 described species in Pterostichini.
Cyclotrachelus sodalis is a species of woodland ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in North America.
Ampedus is a genus of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are currently 461 recognized species of Ampedus beetles. It has a cosmopolitan distribution, but is found mostly in the Holarctic region, primarily in North America, Europe, and Asia. The oldest known fossil from this genus was found in Eocene Baltic amber, estimated to be from 38.0 to 33.9 million years ago.
