Neoferonia is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about nine described species in Neoferonia, found in New Zealand. [1] [2]
These nine species belong to the genus Neoferonia:
Mecodema is a genus of large flightless ground beetle (Carabidae) endemic to New Zealand. The genus is very diverse in comparison to the other three New Zealand genera within the subtribe Nothobroscina. Mecodema is geographically widespread across both the North and South Islands, as well as numerous offshore islands, including the Three Kings Is., Poor Knights Is., Aotea and Hauturu, Kapiti Is., Stephens Is., Stewart Is., Chatham Is., Snares Is.
Mecodema oconnori is a large-bodied species of ground beetle that is found mainly on the western regions of the North Island, New Zealand. It is mainly found in native forest habitats, both intact and fragmented, and on the edges of pine plantations. Mecodema oconnori ranges from Otaki, Kapiti Coast to Raglan, but is also found in the Manawatu Gorge and some other eastern localities.
The Chalcodryidae are a family of beetles in the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. It contains at least five species in two genera Chalcodrya and Philpottia, which are endemic to New Zealand. They are generally found associated with moss or lichen covered branches, with the larvae having been found to be associated with dead twigs. They are likely noctural, feeding on lichen and other plant material at night. The genera Sirrhas and Onysius, formerly placed in this family, have subsequently been transferred to Promecheilidae.
Parabaris is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are at least three described species in Parabaris, found in New Zealand.
Pholeodytes is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about five described species in Pholeodytes, found in New Zealand.
Physolaesthus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about nine described species in Physolaesthus.
Mecyclothorax is a genus of beetles that contains over 400 described species or subspecies, mostly from the Hawaiian Islands, and Tahiti and Moorea, French Polynesia. Additional radiations have evolved in Queensland, Australia, New Guinea and New Caledonia. The genus has been divided into five subgenera: Eucyclothorax Liebherr 2018 of Australia, Qecyclothorax Liebherr 2018 of Queensland, Australia, Meonochilus Liebherr & Marris, 2009 of New Zealand, Phacothorax Jeannel 1944 of New Caledonia, and the more widely distributed subgenus Mecyclothorax Sharp 1903 [in Australia, the Sundas, New Zealand, the Society Islands, and Hawaii]. The adelphotaxon to Mecyclothorax is hypothesized to consist of the genera associated with Amblytelus Blackburn, also distributed in Australia, and therefore the evolutionary history of Mecyclothorax commenced in Australia.
Ctenognathus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae. This genus is endemic to New Zealand. It was first described by Léon Fairmaire in 1843.
Cerabilia is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae first described by François-Louis Laporte, comte de Castelnau in 1867. They are found in Australia and New Caledonia.
Aulacopodus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Holcaspis is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, endemic to New Zealand.
Megadromus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are at least 30 described species in Megadromus, found in New Zealand.
Kenodactylus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. This genus has a single species, Kenodactylus audouini. It is found in New Zealand.
Duvaliomimus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about 13 described species in Duvaliomimus, found in New Zealand.
Kettlotrechus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about five described species in Kettlotrechus, found in New Zealand.
Synteratus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. This genus has a single species, Synteratus ovalis. It is found in New Zealand.
Enicmus is a genus of beetles in the family Latridiidae, the minute brown scavenger beetles.
Somatidia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Hybolasius is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Arthrolips is a genus of minute hooded beetles in the family Corylophidae. There are more than 20 described species in Arthrolips.
