Liotrichus is a genus of beetles in the family Elateridae. [1] The species of this genus are found in Eurasia, North America, and southern Africa. [1]
The following species are recognised in the genus Liotrichus: [1]
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.
Eleodes is a genus of darkling beetles, in the family Tenebrionidae. They are endemic to western North America ranging from southern Canada to central Mexico with many species found along the Mexico-United States border. Some species have been introduced to Colombia. The name pinacate is Mexican Spanish, derived from the Nahuatl (Aztec) name for the insect, pinacatl, which translates as "black beetle".
Tenebrioninae is the largest subfamily of the darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae), containing flour beetles, among others. Tenebrioninae contains more than 20 tribes.
Blethisa is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about nine described species in Blethisa, found in the Holarctic.
Notiophilus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic, the Nearctic, the Near East and North Africa. Most known for their distinctive head shape and size-body ratio the genus is sometimes referred to as the springtail stalkers.
Stenolophus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 190 described species in the genus Stenolophus.
Broscinae is a subfamily of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 30 genera and at least 340 described species in Broscinae.
Metriini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are at least three genera and about six described species in Metriini.
Monocrepidius is a genus of click beetles in the family Elateridae. The genus has often been cited as Conoderus, but of the two names for this genus published simultaneously in 1829, the one selected by the First Reviser under the ICZN was Monocrepidius, rendering Conoderus the junior synonym.
Lebiini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 250 genera and 4,800 described species in Lebiini.
Limonius is a genus of click beetles in the family Elateridae. Many of the species formerly placed in this genus have been removed to other genera such as Gambrinus.
Dendrometrinae is a very large subfamily of click beetles in the family Elateridae, containing 10 tribes worldwide, including several formerly recognized subfamily-rank groups such as Athoinae, Crepidomeninae, Denticollinae, Oxynopterinae, Prosterninae, and Semiotinae now all reduced to tribal rank or lower.
Ampedus is a genus of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are currently 461 recognized species of Ampedus beetles. It has a cosmopolitan distribution, but is found mostly in the Holarctic region, primarily in North America, Europe, and Asia. The oldest known fossil from this genus was found in Eocene Baltic amber, estimated to be from 38.0 to 33.9 million years ago.
Gambrinus is a genus of click beetles in the family Elateridae, most of which were formerly included in the genus Limonius.
Dalopius is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Elateridae.
Selatosomus is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Elateridae. The species of this genus are found in Europe, Japan, southern Africa and North America, and most of the species were formerly included in the genus Ctenicera.
Anchastus is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Elateridae. The species of this genus are found in America, Southern Africa, Australia.
Agoliinus is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Scarabaeidae.
Dipropus is a genus of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are around 150 described species in Dipropus, found in North, Central, and South America.
