Eocarterus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae. It contains eight species divided into two subgenera, Eocarterus and Baeticocarus. [1]
This subgenus contains the following species: [2]
This subgenus contains the following species:
Calathus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic. There are at least 190 described species in Calathus.
Buprestis is a genus of beetles in the tribe Buprestini, the jewel beetles. As of 2011 there were 78 described species distributed across most of the world's biogeographic realms except parts of Africa and Antarctica.
Carabus is a genus of beetles in the 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.
Harpalus is a genus of ground beetle first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1802.
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.
Aphodius is a genus of beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. In most species both the adults and larvae are coprophagous although some species have herbivorous or saprophagous larvae. Aphodius species typically dominate dung beetle communities in north temperate ecosystems. Most species are functionally classified as endocoprids, also known as dwellers, because the larvae live and feed within the dung pat itself.
Altonthophagus is a subgenus of scarab beetles in the genus Onthophagus of the family Scarabaeidae. There are about 12 described species in Altonthophagus. They are found in the Palearctic and Indomalaya.
Cymindis is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic, the Near East, and North Africa. It contains the following species:
Ophonus is a ground beetle genus native to the Palearctic, the Near East, the Nearctic and North Africa. It contains the following species in the following subgenera:
Galeruca is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Galerucinae. It is distributed in the Palaearctic and Nearctic realms. In Turkey, the genus is represented by 10 species.
Acupalpus is a genus of insect-eating beetle species. Its representatives are found across Europe, Asia, and North America.
Glischrochilus[note 1] is a genus of sap-feeding and predatory beetles under the family Nitidulidae, subfamily Cryptarchinae. Most members of this genus are commonly known as picnic beetles or beer bugs.
Lindrothius is a subgenus in the ground beetle genus Calathus, family Carabidae. There are about 14 described species in this subgenus, found in Georgia, Russia, and Turkey.
Airaphilus is a genus of beetles in the family Silvanidae, containing the following species:
Eodorcadion is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Eocarterus esau is a species of ground beetle in the genus Eocarterus. It was discovered by the zoologist Heyden in 1885.
Eocarterus amicorum is a species of ground beetle in the genus Eocarterus. It belongs to the subgenus Baeticum. E. amicorum has a very limited geographical range, being present in only Spain.
Coptosia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Menesia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, 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 tribe contains more than 1,900 species.
