The Fauna of British India with long titles including The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma, and The Fauna of British India Including the Remainder of the Oriental Region is a series of scientific books that was published by the British government in India and printed by Taylor and Francis of London. The series was started sometime in 1881 after a letter had been sent to the Secretary of State for India signed by Charles Darwin, Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker and other "eminent men of science" forwarded by P.L.Sclater to R.H. Hobart. W. T. Blanford was appointed editor and began work on the volume on mammals.

Sphodrus leucophthalmus is a species of ground beetle native to Europe.Západopalearktický,stenotermní druh Tribu Sphodrini,žijící prvotně v hnízdech větších savců;např.jezevec,liška,.druhotně ve starých sklepích,stájích,komorách a jiných vlhkých prostorách s hliněnou podlahou.Jako potravu upřednostňuje brouky z čeledi tenebrionidae ,a jejich larvy.Velikost dosti kolísá,od 23 do 40 mm.Tento druh byl v minulosti celkem obvyklý,avšak rapidním úbytkem jeho druhotných biotopů,a skrytým způsobem života v prvotních hnízdech savců,se stal velmi vzácným,až téměř vymírajícím elementem.Imaga ponejvíce na podzim,/září ,říjen/.Vzhledem ke skrytému způsobu života je záměna možná s druhy rodu Laemostenus/Pristonychus/, případně s Dolichus halensis/,carabidae:Platynini/,nebo s Pterostichus niger/carabidae:Pterostichini/. Western palearctic, stenothermal species of the tribe Sphodrini, living primarily in the nests of larger mammals; e.g. badger, fox, secondarily in old cellars, stables, chambers and other damp spaces with a clay floor. As food, it prefers beetles from the tenebrionidae family and their larvae. Size it fluctuates a lot, from 23 to 40 mm. This species was quite common in the past, but due to the rapid decline of its secondary habitats and the hidden way of life in the primitive nests of mammals, it has become a very rare, almost extinct element. Imaga mostly in autumn/September ,October/.Due to the hidden way of life, confusion is possible with species of the genus Laemostenus/Pristonychus/, possibly with Dolichus halensis/,carabidae:Platynini/, or with Pterostichus niger/carabidae:Pterostichini

Omophron nitidum, the shiny round sand beetle, is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in North America within the United States, in areas such as Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Alabama and Texas. Adults are nocturnal, spending their time in burrows and leaf litter during the day. The breeding of O. nitidum takes place from March to December.

Omophron ovale, the oval round sand beetle, is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in North America. Inhabiting mostly the margins of freshwater ponds, streams, and lakes, O. ovale are riparian and burrow into sand and mud. O. ovale, as all Carabidae, go through complete metamorphosis. This consists of three distinct stages before becoming an adult— egg, then larva, then pupa. O. ovale are around 4.5mm to 6.6mm in length and have a distinctive pattern on their body, with yellowish tan and metallic green markings.

Omophron grossum, the large round sand beetle, is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in North America.
Omophron tessellatum, the mosaic round sand beetle, is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae found in North America. Its distribution includes the United States in states such as Arkansas, Virginia, Oklahoma, and Arizona; and in Canada in provinces such as Nova Scotia and Alberta. The species grows to lengths of 5.4 to 7 millimeters. Its habitat is flooded areas such as lake shores, river banks, ponds, pool edges, and beaches with sandy or clayish soil. It breeds in the spring from May to July.
