Pionycha is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are at least three described species in Pionycha, found in South America. [1] [2]
These three species belong to the genus Pionycha:
Actinopus is a genus of mygalomorph spiders in the family Actinopodidae. It was first described by Josef Anton Maximilian Perty in 1833 from the type species Actinopus tarsalis found in Brazil. The name is derived from Greek actin- "ray, beam" and pous "foot". It is a senior synonym of Aussereria, Closterochilus, Pachyloscelis, and Theragretes.
Micrathena, known as spiny orbweavers, is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833. Micrathena contains more than a hundred species, most of them Neotropical woodland-dwelling species. The name is derived from the Greek "micro", meaning "small", and the goddess Athena.
Idiops is a genus of armored trapdoor spiders that was first described by Josef Anton Maximilian Perty in 1833. It is the type genus of the spurred trapdoor spiders, Idiopidae. Idiops is also the most species-rich genus of the family, and is found at widely separated locations in the Neotropics, Afrotropics, Indomalaya and the Middle East. Females live in tubular burrows lined with a thick layer of white silk. These typically have a D-shaped lid that fits into the entrance like a cork, and some burrows have two entrances. The lid may consist of mud, moss or lichen, which is bound below by a thick layer of silk. As in all genera of this family, the anterior lateral eyes (ALE) are situated near the clypeal margin, far in front of the remaining six eyes, which are arranged in a tight group. The males which are smaller in size, wander about or occasionally live in burrows. Like other mygalomorphs, they are relatively large and long-lived. Forest clearance and agricultural practices that loosen the soil and enhance erosion, besides soil removal for brick making have been pointed out as serious threats to some Indian species. Species ranges are poorly known – in India for instance, most species are known only from their type localities.
Helluomorpha is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about five described species in Helluomorpha.
Brasiella is a genus of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae. There are more than 50 described species in Brasiella.
Cenothyla is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are seven described species in Cenothyla.

Oxycheila is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are more than 50 described species in Oxycheila.
Ctenodactyla is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about 10 described species in Ctenodactyla, found in South America.
Neoaulacoryssus is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are at least two described species in Neoaulacoryssus.
Paraglycia is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about six described species in Paraglycia.
Plagiopyga is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about 13 described species in Plagiopyga, found in Africa.
Pseudomonnea is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are at least three described species in Pseudomonnea, found in South America.
Nycteis is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about 15 described species in Nycteis, found in Madagascar.
Criodion is a genus of Long-Horned Beetles in the beetle family Cerambycidae. There are about 11 described species in Criodion.
Jupoata is a genus of longhorn beetles in the family Cerambycidae. There are about 13 described species in Jupoata.
Poeciloxestia is a genus of longhorn beetles in the family Cerambycidae. There are more than 20 described species in Poeciloxestia, found in Central and South America.
Cotinis is a genus of scarab beetles in the subfamily Cetoniinae found throughout North and South America. At least two species are common pests. The genus was erected by Hermann Burmeister in 1842.
Pelidnota is a genus of beetles of the family Scarabaeidae. There are more than 180 described species in Pelidnota, found in the Neotropics.
Poeciloxestia elegans is a species in the longhorn beetle family Cerambycidae. It is found in Brazil.
