Peleciini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are about 8 genera and more than 90 described species in Peleciini. They are found mainly in the southern hemisphere. [1] [2]
These eight genera belong to the tribe Peleciini:
Pterostichus is a very large genus of ground beetles with a Holarctic distribution in the subfamily Harpalinae. It has over 1,200 species. The beetles are predatory, but sometimes feed on strawberries. They can be found under rocks and prefer slightly moist, sandy soil although preferences differ between species.
Ozaenini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 20 genera and 230 described species in Ozaenini. They are found in North, Central, and South America. Most species inhabit tropical regions.
Anthiinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following genera:
Pheropsophus is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae.
Coptodera is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, constituted of 105 species distributed across North and South America, Africa, Oceania and eastern Asia.
Migadopinae is a subfamily of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are about 18 genera and more than 40 described species in Migadopinae.
Panagaeinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 30 genera and 400 described species in Panagaeinae.
Eripus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about 12 described species in Eripus.
Pelecium is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 30 described species in Pelecium, found in Central and South America.
Pterostichinae is a subfamily of ground beetles. It belongs to the advanced harpaline assemblage, and if these are circumscribed sensu lato as a single subfamily, Pterostichinae are downranked to a tribe Pterostichini. However, as the former Pterostichitae supertribe of the Harpalinae as loosely circumscribed does seem to constitute a lineage rather distinct from Harpalus, its core group is here considered to be the present subfamily and the Harpalinae are defined more narrowly.
Abacetus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, distributed across Africa, Asia and Australia, with a single European species. It contains the following species:
Morion is a genus of in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 40 described species in Morion.
Blennidus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 120 described species in Blennidus, found in South America.
Oxycrepis is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae, first described by Louis Jérôme Reiche in 1843. There are more than 260 described species in Oxycrepis, found in North, Central, and South America, as well as Australia.
Scaritinae is a worldwide subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing more than 2400 species in over 140 genera.
Oodini is a ground beetle tribe in the subfamily Harpalinae. Oodines are found worldwide and are generally associated with standing water. This tribe contains more than 400 species arrayed in 43 genera. Beetles in Oodini are distinguishable from other members of Carabidae by a combination of two characters: a laterally coadunate metepisternum, and an elytral ridge formed by the fusion of intervals 7 and 8.
Lebiini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 250 genera and 4,800 described species in Lebiini.
Pterostichini is a tribe of ground beetles in the subfamily Harpalinae. There are about 180 genera and more than 3,800 described species in Pterostichini.
Migadopini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are about 16 genera and more than 40 described species in Migadopini.
