Guineica is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least two described species in Guineica, found in Indonesia, New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands. [1] [2] [3]
These two species belong to the genus Guineica:
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.
The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), also known as long-horned or longicorns, are a large family of beetles, with over 35,000 species described.
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.
Omus dejeani is a species of flightless tiger beetle (Cicindelidae) that is found from British Columbia almost to northern California in dense, coastal forests. It can be found quite commonly in suitable habitats in the spring. It is most often collected with pitfall traps, but can be found walking along trails at night and on cloudy days during the right time.
Caledonomorpha is a genus in the tiger beetle family Cicindelidae.
Calyptoglossa is a genus of tiger beetles. This genus has a single species, Calyptoglossa frontalis, found in Madagascar.
Cratohaerea is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least three described species in Cratohaerea, found in Africa.
Derocrania is a genus of tiger beetles. There are about 16 described species in Derocrania, found in India and Sri Lanka.
Dilatotarsa is a genus of tiger beetles. There are about eight described species in Dilatotarsa, found in the Pacific islands of Southeast Asia.
Distipsidera is a genus of tiger beetles. There are about 12 described species in Distipsidera, found in Oceania.
Enantiola is a genus of tiger beetles. There are four described species in Enantiola, found in Southeast Asia.
Eunota, also known as the saline tiger beetles, is a genus of beetles in the family Cicindelidae first described by Émile Rivalier in 1954. They are found in the United States and Mexico
Euprosopus is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least two described species in Euprosopus, found in Brazil.
Eurymorpha is a genus of tiger beetles. This genus has a single species, Eurymorpha cyanipes. It is found in the African countries Angola and Namibia.
Euzona is a genus of tiger beetles found in Australia. It was formed from the breakup of the Cicindela genus, and just like Cylindera, is in a state of dispute. Scientists do not agree whether the genus should be considered as a subgenus of Cicindela or kept in its current taxonomic rank. The genus contains the following species:
Habrodera is a genus of tiger beetles. There are about six described species in Habrodera, found in Africa.
Cicindela aurulenta, common name blue-spotted or golden-spotted tiger beetle, is a beetle of the family Cicindelidae.
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.
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.
Habroscelimorpha dorsalis, commonly known as the eastern beach tiger beetle, is a species of flashy tiger beetle in the family Cicindelidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
