Nickerlea is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least four described species in Nickerlea, found in Australia. [1] [2] [3]
These four species belong to the genus Nickerlea:
Tiger beetles are a family of beetles, Cicindelidae, known for their aggressive predatory habits and running speed. The fastest known species of tiger beetle, Rivacindela hudsoni, can run at a speed of 9 km/h, or about 125 body lengths per second. As of 2005, about 2,600 species and subspecies were known, with the richest diversity in the Oriental (Indo-Malayan) region, followed by the Neotropics. While historically treated as a subfamily of ground beetles (Carabidae) under the name Cicindelinae, several studies since 2020 indicated that they should be treated as a family, the Cicindelidae, which are a sister group to Carabidae within the Adephaga.
Amblycheila is a genus of flightless, nocturnal tiger beetles. There are eight species distributed across the southwestern United States and Mexico.
Brasiella is a genus of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae. There are more than 50 described species in Brasiella.
Caledonomorpha is a genus in the tiger beetle family Cicindelidae.
Cratohaerea is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least three described species in Cratohaerea, found in Africa.
Derocrania is a genus of tiger beetles. There are about 16 described species in Derocrania, found in India and Sri Lanka.
Enantiola is a genus of tiger beetles. There are four described species in Enantiola, found in Southeast Asia.
Euzona is a genus of tiger beetles found in Australia. It was formed from the breakup of the Cicindela genus, and just like Cylindera, is in a state of dispute. Scientists do not agree whether the genus should be considered as a subgenus of Cicindela or kept in its current taxonomic rank. The genus contains the following species:
Iresia is a genus of beetles in the family Cicindelidae, containing the following species:
Langea is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least three described species in Langea.
Macfarlandia is a genus of tiger beetles with a single species, Macfarlandia arachnoides. Tiger beetles are placed either in the family Carabidae or in their own family, Cicindelidae, depending on the author.
Megalomma is a genus of tiger beetles. There are about five described species in Megalomma.
Opisthencentrus is a genus of tiger beetles. This genus has a single species, Opisthencentrus dentipennis. It is found in Brazil.
Oxygoniola is a genus of tiger beetles. This genus has a single species, Oxygoniola chamaeleon. It is found in Indonesia.

Pometon is a genus of tiger beetles. There are at least two described species in Pometon.
Pronyssiformia is a genus of tiger beetles. This genus has a single species, Pronyssiformia excoffieri. It is found in China.
Rivacindela is a genus of beetles in the family Cicindelidae, containing the following species, all of which are found only in Australia:
Cicindelini is a tribe of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae, containing the overwhelming majority of genera and species in the family. There are more than 90 genera and 2,000 described species in Cicindelini.
Pseudotetracha is a genus of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae, formerly included within the genus Megacephala, and endemic to Australia.
