Harpalinae is a huge subfamily of ground beetles that contains 20,000 species. A rarely used common name for the subfamily is the harp beetles. The Harpalinae contain the most apomorphic ground beetles, displaying a wide range of forms and behaviors. Some are, rare among ground beetles, omnivores or even herbivores.
Carabus is a genus of beetles in family Carabidae. The genus is highly diverse with 91 subgenera and more than 1000 recognised species, thus is the largest genus in the subfamily Carabinae. The vast majority are native to the Palearctic, but 11 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.
Stenognathus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Badister is a genus of ground beetle in the family Carabidae native to North Africa, the Near East and the Palearctic, including Europe.
Amblygnathus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Aztecarpalus is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are about nine described species in Aztecarpalus.
Pelmatellus is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are at least 20 described species in Pelmatellus.
Selenophorus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Trichopselaphus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Phloeoxena is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Platyninae is a subfamily of ground beetles. Occasionally it was treated as a tribe Platynini of subfamily Harpalinae, particularly when this was circumscribed loosely.
Elliptoleus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Onypterygia is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
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.
Euchroa is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Loxandrus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Allotriopus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Percolaus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Schizogenius is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Harpalini is a tribe of a diverse group of ground beetles belonging to the subfamily Harpalinae within the broader family Carabidae. The Harpalini tribe contains an estimated 70 genera and subgenera with 357 described species.
