Orionella is a genus of beetle in the family Carabidae, with four known species as of April 2013: [1] [2]
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.
Ground beetles are a large, cosmopolitan family of beetles, the Carabidae, with more than 40,000 species worldwide, around 2,000 of which are found in North America and 2,700 in Europe. As of 2015, it is one of the 10 most species-rich animal families. They belong to the Adephaga. Members of the family are primarily carnivorous, but some members are herbivorous or omnivorous.
The Trachypachidae are a family of beetles that generally resemble small ground beetles, but that are distinguished by the large coxae of their rearmost legs. There are only six known extant species in the family, with four species of Trachypachus found in northern Eurasia and northern North America, and two species of Systolosoma in Chile and Argentina. They were much more diverse in the past, with dozens of described species from the Mesozoic.
Synuchus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 80 described species in Synuchus.
Ophoniscus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about nine described species in Ophoniscus.
Pseudognathaphanus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about 10 described species in Pseudognathaphanus.
Anchista is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Scalidion is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are at least four described species in Scalidion.
Setolebia is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species as of 2017:
Allocota is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Dasiosoma is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about 10 described species in Dasiosoma.
Diamella is a genus of beetle in the family Carabidae. It was originally described by Arnošt Jedlička in 1952 as Dianella. Hongliang Shi, Hongzhang Zhou, and Hongbin Liang proposed Diamella as a replacement name in 2013, since Jedlička's Dianella was a junior homonym of the gastropod genus Dianella, described by Gerard Pierre Laurent Kalshoven Gude in 1913.
Orionella lewisii is a species of beetle in the family Carabidae.
Physodera is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, found mainly in Asia.
Eustra is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Negreum is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are about 15 described species in Negreum, found in eastern Asia.
Onycholabis is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are about seven described species in Onycholabis.
Allocota bicolor is a species of ground beetle in the Lebiinae subfamily that can be found in such Asian countries as China, Laos, Thailand and Viet Nam.
Harpalini is a tribe of a diverse group of ground beetles belonging to the subfamily Harpalinae within the broader family Carabidae. The tribe contains more than 1,900 species.
Lebiini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 250 genera and 4,800 described species in Lebiini.
