Oopterus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 20 described species in Oopterus, found in New Zealand. [1] [2] [3]
These 29 species belong to the genus Oopterus:
Neocicindela is a genus of tiger beetles endemic to New Zealand. Several former species of Neocicindela have been transferred to a new genus Zecicindela. It can be separated from Zecicindela by the shape of the labrum and the absence of hairs on the clypeus, frons, genae and pronotum.
Allocinopus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Hakaharpalus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Lecanomerus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 30 described species in Lecanomerus.
Parabaris is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are at least three described species in Parabaris, found in New Zealand.
Loxomerus is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are four described species in Loxomerus, found in New Zealand.
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.
Selenochilus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, endemic to New Zealand, including the following seven species:
Molopsida is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, endemic to New Zealand. This genus was first described by Adam White (zoologist) in 1846. Molopsida includes the following six species:
Cnemalobus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 40 described species in Cnemalobus, found in South America.
Holcaspis is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, endemic to New Zealand.
Zolus is a genus of carabids in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about six described species in Zolus, found in New Zealand.
The Thynnidae are a family of large, solitary wasps whose larvae are almost universally parasitoids of various beetle larvae, especially those in the superfamily Scarabaeoidea. Until recently, the constituents of this family were classified in the family Tiphiidae, but multiple studies have independently confirmed that thynnids are a separate lineage.
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.
Hyptia is a genus of ensign wasps in the family Evaniidae. There are at least 50 described species in Hyptia. Most Hyptia can be differentiated from other genera by heavily reduced venation of the forewings, wherein only one closed cell is present.
Cypherotylus is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are over 30 described species in Cypherotylus. It frequently appears in the literature under the name "Gibbifer", but this name is permanently unavailable under ICZN Article 11.4, as are all of Voet's names.
Zolini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are 11 genera and more than 60 described species in Zolini. All but one of the genera are found in Australia and New Zealand. The genus Merizodus occurs in South America.
Anisodactylini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 30 genera and 380 described species in Anisodactylini.
Zecicindela is a genus of tiger beetles endemic to New Zealand. It is similar to Neocicindela, but can be separated by the shape of the labrum and the presence of hairs on the clypeus, frons, genae and pronotum.
Zecicindela perhispida is a species of tiger beetle endemic to New Zealand.
