Percus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about 19 described species in Percus, found in southern Europe and North Africa. [1] [2]
These 19 species belong to the genus Percus:
Carabus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae. The genus is highly diverse with 94 subgenera, 959 species and 2300 subspecies, thus is the largest genus in the subfamily Carabinae. The vast majority are native to the Palearctic, but 16 Nearctic species are also known. Carabus spp. are 12–50 mm (0.47–1.97 in) long, and most species are wingless and often very colourful. These are nocturnal, predatory beetles that feed on snails, earthworms, and caterpillars. Most Carabus species were thought to have inhabited the Eurasian forest, but the species' low dispersal abilities altered the distribution of lineages within the genus.
Zabrus is a genus of ground beetles. They are, unusually for ground beetles, omnivores or even herbivores, and Zabrus tenebrioides can become a pest in cereal fields.
Lepturinae, the lepturine beetles, is a subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae), containing about 150 genera worldwide. This lineage is most diverse in the Northern Hemisphere. Until recently the subfamily Necydalinae was included within the lepturines, but this has been recently recognized as a separate subfamily. Nine tribes are usually recognized today, with a tenth, Caraphiini, created in 2016. A few genera are of uncertain placement within the subfamily.
Brachinus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Nearctic, Palearctic, the Near East and North Africa. Beetles in this genus are commonly referred to as bombardier beetles. The genus contains the following species:
Licinus is a genus of in the beetle family Carabidae native to the Palearctic, the Near East and North Africa.
Ophonus is a ground beetle genus native to the Palearctic, the Near East, the Nearctic and North Africa. It contains the following species in the following subgenera:
Bradycellus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 120 described species in Bradycellus.
Dixus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about 11 described species in Dixus.
Agapanthia is a genus of flat-faced longhorn beetle belonging to the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Lamiinae.
Platyderus is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 100 described species in Platyderus.
Orthomus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 30 described species in Orthomus.
Ocys is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are at least 30 described species in Ocys.
Trachyderini is a tribe of long-horned beetles in the family Cerambycidae. There are at least 140 genera and 650 described species in Trachyderini.
Nebria rubripes is a species of ground beetle in the Nebriinae subfamily that can be found in France and Spain.
Brachinus psophia is a species of ground beetle from the subfamily Brachininae. It is widely distributed in the southern half of Europe. It can also be found on such European islands as Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily, and on the island of Cyprus in Asia. Besides European countries it can be found in Armenia, Iran, Iraq and Central Asian republics. It is also known from Turkey, The species was also found and described in Georgia in 2004. and
Harpalus neglectus is a species of ground beetle native to Europe, where it can be found in such territories as Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Great Britain including the Isle of Man, Ireland, Italy, Moldova, Poland, Portugal, Sardinia, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands and Ukraine. It is doubtful that the beetle exists in Austria, Slovakia and Switzerland. It is also found in such African countries as Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia.
Macrodactylini is a tribe of May beetles and junebugs in the family Scarabaeidae. There are at least 46 genera and over a thousand species described in the tribe Macrodactylini.
Eurycephalus is an invalid longhorn beetle generic name first published by the British zoologist John Edward Gray in 1831. It is now considered to be a junior objective synonym of the genus Tapeina established by the French entomologists Amédée Lepeletier and Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville in 1828. Several other organisms were also named Eurycephalus by other zoologists that have since been invalidated. They are listed below with their current accepted name:
