Psydrinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae. [1]
These 34 genera belong to the subfamily Psydrinae:
Tribe Gehringiini Darlington, 1933
Tribe Moriomorphini Sloane, 1890
Tribe Psydrini LeConte, 1853
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 phytophagous or omnivorous.
Anthiinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following genera:
Broscinae is a subfamily of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 30 genera and at least 340 described species in Broscinae.
Demetrida is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Pentagonica is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 170 described species in Pentagonica.
Scopodes is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae and is found in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. The genus contains the following species:
Licininae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following genera:
Microferonia is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Platyninae is a subfamily of ground beetles.
Mecyclothorax is a genus of beetles that contains over 400 described species or subspecies, mostly from the Hawaiian Islands, and Tahiti and Moorea, French Polynesia. Additional radiations have evolved in Queensland, Australia, New Guinea and New Caledonia. The genus has been divided into five subgenera: Eucyclothorax Liebherr 2018 of Australia, Qecyclothorax Liebherr 2018 of Queensland, Australia, Meonochilus Liebherr & Marris, 2009 of New Zealand, Phacothorax Jeannel 1944 of New Caledonia, and the more widely distributed subgenus Mecyclothorax Sharp 1903 [in Australia, the Sundas, New Zealand, the Society Islands, and Hawaii]. The adelphotaxon to Mecyclothorax is hypothesized to consist of the genera associated with Amblytelus Blackburn, also distributed in Australia, and therefore the evolutionary history of Mecyclothorax commenced in Australia.
Notagonum is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Platynus is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 180 described species in Platynus.
Scaritinae is a large subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing more than 2400 species in over 140 genera. They are found worldwide.
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.
Odacanthini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 40 genera and 680 described species in Odacanthini.
