Harpalinae is a huge subfamily of ground beetles that contains 20,000 species. A rarely used common name for the subfamily is the harp beetles. The Harpalinae contain the most apomorphic ground beetles, displaying a wide range of forms and behaviors. Some are, rare among ground beetles, omnivores or even herbivores.
Ant nest beetles or paussines, some members of which are known also as flanged bombardier beetles, are a large subfamily within the ground beetles (Carabidae). The tribes Metriini, Ozaenini, Paussini and Protopaussini are included in the subfamily.
Dryptinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following genera:
Lebiinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae.
Agonocheila is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Scopodes is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Panagaeinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following genera:
Agonica is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Platyninae is a subfamily of ground beetles. Occasionally it was treated as a tribe Platynini of subfamily Harpalinae, particularly when this was circumscribed loosely.
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.
Psydrinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae.
Neonomius is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Sitaphe is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Theprisa is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Trephisa parallela is a species of beetle in the family Carabidae, the only species in the genus Trephisa.
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.
Notonomus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Sarticus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Trechinae is a subfamily in the ground beetle family, Carabidae.
Notonomus obscurus is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Pterostichinae. It was described by Moore in 1963.
