Eucamaragnathus is a genus of ground beetles in the Hiletinae subfamily. [1]
The 15 different species of Eucamaragnathus live on various continents. E. amapa, E. batesi, E. brasiliensis, and E. jaws live in South America. [2] Five other species live throughout India and Southeast Asia, in the Indomalayan realm, while the remaining 6 species live throughout Africa, mostly in the tropics. [3] [4]
The species of Eucamaragnathus mostly live in the soils within forests, usually tropical or deciduous. They can also be found in savannas. [4]
Eucamaragnathus contains 15 species. [2] However, due to the fact that the species Eucamaragnathus desenderi was only recently discovered, [5] many sources still claim that the genus only contains 14 species. [4]
The following diagram shows how all of the species in the genus are related to one another. This diagram does not include E. desenderi. [6]
