Habrodera is a genus of tiger beetles. There are about six described species in Habrodera, found in Africa. [1] [2] [3]
These six species belong to the genus Habrodera:
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.
Pentacomia is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are more than 50 described species in Pentacomia, found in Central and South America.
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.
Lophyra is a genus of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae capable of flight. They are found in Africa, Asia, and Europe
Pheropsophus is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. It is considered a sister group of the genus Pheropsophidius within the subtribe Pheropsophina.
Chaetodera is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are about seven described species in Chaetodera.
Euprosopus is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least two described species in Euprosopus, found in Brazil.
Hypaetha is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are about 14 described species in Hypaetha.
Peridexia is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least four described species in Peridexia, found in Madagascar.
Prothyma is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are more than 40 described species in Prothyma.
Ctenodactyla is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about 10 described species in Ctenodactyla, found in South America.
Dioryche is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about 19 described species in Dioryche.
Cyclosomus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about 11 described species in Cyclosomus. They are found in southern and southeastern Asia and Africa.
Coptodera is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, constituted of 105 species distributed across North and South America, Africa, Oceania and eastern Asia.
Lasiocera is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about 14 described species in Lasiocera.
Morion is a genus of in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 40 described species in Morion.
Epomis is a subgenus of ground beetle genus Chlaenius. The larvae of this subgenus are notable for being obligate role-reversal predators. Amphibians such as frogs are normally predators of beetles; however, Epomis larvae feed exclusively on amphibians.
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.
Nitidula is a genus of sap-feeding beetles in the family Nitidulidae. There are more than 20 described species in Nitidula. Some species breed in carrion while others are associated with later stages of decay in mammalian corpses and can be used in forensic investigations.
Cicindela scutellaris, the festive tiger beetle, is a species of flashy tiger beetle in the family Cicindelidae. It is found in North America.
