Carabus is a genus of beetle in family Carabidae. The genus is highly diverse with 91 subgenera and more than 1000 recognised species and thus is the largest genus in the subfamily Carabinae. The vast majority are native to the Palearctic, but there are also 11 Nearctic species. Carabus are 12–50 mm (0.47–1.97 in) long, most species are wingless and often very colourful. These are nocturnal, predatory beetles that feed on snails, earthworms and caterpillars.
Ant nest beetles or paussines, some members of which are known also as flanged bombardier beetles, are a large subfamily within the ground beetles (Carabidae). The tribes Metriini, Ozaenini, Paussini and Protopaussini are included in the subfamily.

Omophron is a genus of ground beetle (Carabidae), the only extant genus in the subfamily Omophroninae. It is mostly distributed in the Northern Hemisphere with the southern border running through Guatemala and Hispaniola in Americas, South Africa and Madagascar in Africa, Malaysia and Philippines in Asia.
Crepidogaster is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following 106 species:
Caledonica is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Lachnoderma is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Orthogoniinae is a subfamily of ground beetles. Occasionally it was treated as a tribe Orthogoniini of subfamily Harpalinae, particularly when this was circumscribed loosely.
Orthogonius is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Pachyteles is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Proozaena is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
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.
Eucamptognathus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Stomis is a genus of woodland ground beetles in the family Carabidae.
Trechinae is a subfamily in the ground beetle family, Carabidae.
Amerizus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Dongodytes is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Uenotrechus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Orthogonius lancangjiang is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Orthogoniinae. It was described by Tian & Deuve in 2006. This species resides mainly in Southeast Asia in Vietnam and Laos.
