Eucamptognathus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species: [1]
Harpalinae is a huge subfamily of ground beetles that contains 20,000 species or ~6,400 spp. in 24 tribes worldwide, according to others. 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.
Pterostichus is a very large genus of ground beetles with a Holarctic distribution in the subfamily Harpalinae. It has over 1,100 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. Pterostichus contains the following species:
Brachinus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Nearctic, Palearctic, the Near East and North Africa. Beetles in this genus are commonly referred to as bombardier beetles. The genus contains the following species:
Lebia is a genus of predatory ground beetles. Common names include colorful foliage ground beetles and flat ground beetles. They are found worldwide and there over 700 species in 17 subgenera.
Drypta is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Eunostus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Zuphium is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Lebiinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae.
Tetragonoderus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Pentagonica is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Perigona 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.
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.
Abacetus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, distributed across Africa, Asia and Australia, with a single European species. It contains the following species:
Caelostomus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Trigonotoma is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Scaritinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following genera:
Trechinae is a subfamily in the ground beetle family, Carabidae.
