Lymnastis is a genus of ground beetles of the subfamily Trechinae.
Ground beetles are a large, cosmopolitan family of beetles, Carabidae, with more than 40,000 species worldwide, around 2,000 of which are found in North America and 2,700 in Europe. It is one of the ten most speciose animal families, as of 2015.
Trechinae is a subfamily in the ground beetle family, Carabidae.
The body length of the adult is 2.0–2.2 millimetres (0.079–0.087 in). [1] Body-color is yellow and flat. [1] Representatives of this genus are characterized by the following features: [1]
- Head is small and narrow;
- Compound eyes are usually large and are made up of about ten of the facet cells;
- Frontal supraorbital notch is reduced;
- Prischitkovaya groove on top is not bent;
- The elytron have fine hairs and have no return grooves;
- Vertex of the Abdomen appears from the elytron;
- The upper body is covered in soft hairs.
An elytron is a modified, hardened forewing of certain insect orders, notably beetles (Coleoptera) and a few of the true bugs (Hemiptera); in most true bugs, the forewings are instead called hemelytra, as only the basal half is thickened while the apex is membranous. An elytron is sometimes also referred to as a shard.
The abdomen is the part of the body between the thorax (chest) and pelvis, in humans and in other vertebrates. The abdomen is the front part of the abdominal segment of the trunk. The region occupied by the abdomen is called the abdominal cavity. In arthropods it is the posterior tagma of the body; it follows the thorax or cephalothorax.
