Euprosopus is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least two described species in Euprosopus, found in Brazil. [1] [2] [3]
These two species belong to the genus Euprosopus:
Tiger beetles are a family of beetles, Cicindelidae, known for their aggressive predatory habits and running speed. The fastest known species of tiger beetle, Rivacindela hudsoni, can run at a speed of 9 km/h, or about 125 body lengths per second. As of 2005, about 2,600 species and subspecies were known, with the richest diversity in the Oriental (Indo-Malayan) region, followed by the Neotropics. While historically treated as a subfamily of ground beetles (Carabidae) under the name Cicindelinae, several studies since 2020 indicated that they should be treated as a family, the Cicindelidae, which are a sister group to Carabidae within the Adephaga.
Cicindela, commonly known as common tiger beetles, are generally brightly colored and metallic beetles, often with some sort of patterning of ivory or cream-colored markings. They are most abundant and diverse in habitats very often near bodies of water with sandy or occasionally clay soils; they can be found along rivers, sea and lake shores, sand dunes, around dry lakebeds, on clay banks, or woodland paths.
Cephalota is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are more than 20 described species in Cephalota.
Dailodontus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are at least two described species in Dailodontus, found in South America.
Carabinae is a subfamily of ground beetles in the family Carabidae, containing ten genera and over fourteen hundred described species. It has two tribes, the Cychrini Laporte (1834) and Carabini Latreille (1802). The latter is divided into two subtribes, the Carabina Latreille (1802) and Ceroglossina Vacher de Lapouge (1927).
Ellipsoptera is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are about 13 described species in Ellipsoptera, found in North America.
Ctenodactyla is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about 10 described species in Ctenodactyla, found in South America.
Dicrodontus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are at least three described species in Dicrodontus, found in the Canary Islands.
Cratognathus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about five described species in Cratognathus, found in Africa.
Corsyra is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. This genus has a single species, Corsyra fusula. It is found in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Russia, and Mongolia.
Eccoptomenus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are at least three described species in Eccoptomenus, found in Africa.
Geobaenus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are at least four described species in Geobaenus.
Geobius is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. This genus has a single species, Geobius pubescens, found in Argentina.
Tetracha is a genus of metallic tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae, formerly treated as a subgenus within the genus Megacephala. Tetracha species are exclusively New World in distribution, while Megacephala are exclusively Old World in distribution. There are ~100 described species in Tetracha.
Forcipator is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are at least four described species in Forcipator, found in South America.
Distichus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 30 described species in Distichus, found in Africa, Europe, Asia, South America, and Central America.
Plocaederus is a genus of Long-Horned Beetles in the beetle family Cerambycidae. This genus has a single species, Plocaederus bellator. It is known from the South American countries Brazil, Ecuador, Guyana, French Guiana, Paraguay, and Suriname.
Grammognatha euphratica is a species of beetle in the family Cicindelidae, the only species in the genus Grammognatha. It is found in the Mediterranean countries, southern Europe, and southwestern Asia.
Cicindela patruela, the northern barrens tiger beetle, is a species of tiger beetle found in eastern North America. Due to their specific habitat requirements as well as human involvement, populations of this species have declined significantly in several regions, including most of New England, Ontario, and Quebec.
Cicindelini is a tribe of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae, containing the overwhelming majority of genera and species in the family. There are more than 90 genera and 2,000 described species in Cicindelini.
