Peridexia is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least four described species in Peridexia, found in Madagascar. [1] [2] [3]
These four species belong to the genus Peridexia:
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.
Apteroessa grossa is a species of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae, the sole species in the genus Apteroessa and described on the basis of a specimen from the Coromandel region (Tranquebar) in southern India. It is somewhat large and robust, and is among the few tiger beetles with highly reduced wings (aptery) making them flightless. There are three known specimens in museums, with varying degrees of damage. The species has not been seen in the wild after its description in the 18th century and is thought to be extremely local in distribution.
Archidela is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least four described species in Archidela.
Chaetodera is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are about seven described species in Chaetodera.
Diastrophella is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. This genus has a single species, Diastrophella pauliani, found on the island of Réunion.
Macfarlandia is a genus of tiger beetles with a single species, Macfarlandia arachnoides. Tiger beetles are placed either in the family Carabidae or in their own family, Cicindelidae, depending on the author.
Micromentignatha is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least three described species in Micromentignatha.
Paraphysodeutera is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. This genus has a single species, Paraphysodeutera naviauxi. It is found in Madagascar.
Physodeutera is a genus of Tiger Beetles endemic to Madagascar. There are more than 60 described species in Physodeutera.
Prothymidia is a genus in the Tiger Beetle family Cicindelidae. There are about seven described species in Prothymidia, found in Africa.
Rhysopleura orbicollis is a species of beetle in the family Cicindelidae, the only species in the genus Rhysopleura.
Rhytidophaena is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least four described species in Rhytidophaena.
Stenocosmia is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. This genus has a single species, Stenocosmia tenuicollis. It is found in Madagascar.
Sumlinia is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least two described species in Sumlinia.
Waltherhornia is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least two described species in Waltherhornia, both found in Madagascar.
Cicindela aurulenta, common name blue-spotted or golden-spotted tiger beetle, is a beetle of the family Cicindelidae.
Cylindera dromicoides is a species of tiger beetle of the family Cicindelidae. It is flightless and has been found mainly along the Himalayas from India through Nepal and Bhutan and in the Chinese province of Yunnan.
Apterodela unipunctata, the one-spotted tiger beetle, is a species of flashy tiger beetle in the family Cicindelidae. It is found in North America. This species was formerly in the genus Cylindera. It has a Nearctic distribution and lives in open forest and leaf litter. It is believed to be the sister taxon to Apterodela ovipennis.
Cicindela aberrans is a species in the beetle family Cicindelidae. It is found in Madagascar.
Jundlandia is a genus of flashy tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae. This genus has a single species, Jundlandia lemniscata, the white-striped tiger beetle.
