Leptosarcus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are at least two described species in Leptosarcus, found in South Africa. [1] [2]
These two species belong to the genus Leptosarcus:
Conocephalus is a genus of bush crickets, known as coneheads. It was described by Carl Peter Thunberg in 1815.
Anthia is a genus of the ground beetle family (Carabidae) from Africa and Asia. Species of Anthia can spray a jet of formic acid up to 30 centimetres (12 in), which, if not treated, can cause blindness in animals that harass the beetles.
Acupalpus is a genus of insect-eating beetle species. Its representatives are found across Europe, Asia, and North America.
Macrocheilus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, found in Africa and Asia.
Cymindoidea is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about 15 described species in Cymindoidea, found in southern Asia and Africa.
Lipostratia is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about nine described species in Lipostratia, found in Africa.
Cylindrocranius is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about five described species in Cylindrocranius, found in Africa.
Dromiops is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. This genus has a single species, Dromiops nanniscus. It is found in Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Klepteromimus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. This genus has a single species, Klepteromimus ornatus. It is found in South Africa.
Lebistinida is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. This genus has a single species, Lebistinida pulchra. It is found in South Africa.
Matabele is a genus of Carabid Beetles in the beetle family Carabidae. There are at least two described species in Matabele.
Lionychus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are at least 20 described species in Lionychus.
Arsinoe is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Geobaenus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are at least four described species in Geobaenus.
Disphericus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about 18 described species in Disphericus, found in Africa.
Cyrtomoscelis is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 20 described species in Cyrtomoscelis, found in South Africa.
Inkosa is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are at least two described species in Inkosa, found in South Africa.
Chalcochrous is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about six described species in Chalcochrous, found in South Africa.
Cophosomorpha is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 40 described species in Cophosomorpha, found in South Africa.
The Pneumoridae are a family of nocturnal short-horned grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera, commonly known as the bladder grasshoppers and the sole representative of the superfamily Pneumoroidea. Their centre of diversity is in southern Africa, but one species occurs as far north as South Sudan. Most adult males acquire an inflated abdomen, a specialization for amplified sound production, which is likely its primary function. Most genera display striking sexual dimorphism, and several species exhibit a dual male phenotype.
