Dystrichothorax is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 50 described species in Dystrichothorax, found in Australia. [1] [2] [3]
These 52 species belong to the genus Dystrichothorax: [1] [2] [3]
Paropsis is a genus of Chrysomelidae, commonly referred to as tortoise beetles, which includes over 70 described species. Their small size, bright colours and patterns, and roughly hemispherical shape cause them to be mistaken for beetles in the family Coccinellidae (ladybirds). They are distributed across Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Some species, Paropsis atomaria in particular, have been introduced to the United States in California with first official documented sightings in 2022. They primarily feed on Eucalyptus but there are a few that feed on Baeckea, Kunzea and Leptospermum. Species within this genus are noted as pests. For example, Paropsis charybdis is a pest of Eucalyptus in New Zealand.
Amblytelus is a genus of ground beetle including 44 species distributed through southern Australia, including the Southwest and along the east coast up to North Queensland.
Lecanomerus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 30 described species in Lecanomerus.
Sarothrocrepis is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 110 described species in Sarothrocrepis, found mainly in Australia, but also in Indonesia, New Guinea, Papua, and the Philippines.
Trigonothops is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about 12 described species in Trigonothops found in Oceania.
Microlestodes is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about 16 described species in Microlestodes.
Agonocheila is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 20 described species in Agonocheila.
Homethes is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about 10 described species in Homethes.
Scopodes is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae and is found in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, New Caledonia, and Papua New Guinea.
Mecyclothorax is a genus of beetles that contains over 400 described species or subspecies, mostly from the Hawaiian Islands, and Tahiti and Moorea, French Polynesia. Additional radiations have evolved in Queensland, Australia, New Guinea and New Caledonia. The genus has been divided into five subgenera: Eucyclothorax Liebherr 2018 of Australia, Qecyclothorax Liebherr 2018 of Queensland, Australia, Meonochilus Liebherr & Marris, 2009 of New Zealand, Phacothorax Jeannel 1944 of New Caledonia, and the more widely distributed subgenus Mecyclothorax Sharp 1903 [in Australia, the Sundas, New Zealand, the Society Islands, and Hawaii]. The adelphotaxon to Mecyclothorax is hypothesized to consist of the genera associated with Amblytelus Blackburn, also distributed in Australia, and therefore the evolutionary history of Mecyclothorax commenced in Australia.
Notagonum is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 80 described species in Notagonum.
Adelotopus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 130 described species in Adelotopus.
Sphallomorpha is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are at least 160 described species in Sphallomorpha, found mainly in Australia, but also in Indonesia and New Guinea.
Psydrinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae.
Epelyx is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are five described species in Epelyx, found in Australia.
Dystrichothorax bernhardti is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Psydrinae. It was described by Baehr in 2004. This species belongs to the genus Dystrichothorax, which includes various ground beetles known for their diverse habitats and ecological roles.
Dystrichothorax is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae. Dystrichothorax windsorensis is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Psydrinae. It was described by Baehr in 2004.
Dystrichothorax australis is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Psydrinae. It was described by Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson in 1842.
Dystrichothorax dilatatus is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Psydrinae. It was described by Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson in 1842.
Myrabolia is the only genus in the beetle family Myraboliidae in the superfamily Cucujoidea. It has about 13 species, found in Australia. Adults and possibly larvae live under the bark of Eucalyptus trees.
