Rhytidophaena is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least four described species in Rhytidophaena. [1] [2]
These four species belong to the genus Rhytidophaena:
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.
Sphaerius is a genus of beetles in the family Sphaeriusidae, comprising 18 species. It is one of the two extant genera in the family, the other being Bezesporum. They are typically found along the edges of streams and rivers, where they feed on algae; they occur on all continents except Antarctica. Three species occur in the United States.
The bar-throated minla or chestnut-tailed minla, or even bar-throated siva, is a species of bird in the laughingthrush and babbler family Leiothrichidae. Traditionally, it has been placed in the genus Minla but is now placed in Actinodura.
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.
Callytron is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are about 11 described species in Callytron.
Chaetodera is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are about seven described species in Chaetodera.
Collyris is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are about 10 described species in Collyris.
Heptodonta is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are about 15 described species in Heptodonta.
Jansenia is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least 40 species in the genus, all of which are found only in South Asian region, with several endemic to India and Sri Lanka. The genus is characterized on the basis of the male genitalia.
Pronyssa is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are about eight described species in Pronyssa.
Prothyma is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are more than 40 described species in Prothyma.
Protocollyris is a genus of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae, tribe Collyridini.
Therates is a genus of tiger beetles found in South and Southeast Asia. A study of two species in the Philippines suggests that females tend to be larger with wider elytra width.
Pseudognathaphanus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about 10 described species in Pseudognathaphanus.
Platyrhopalopsis is a genus of flanged-bombardier beetles in the family Carabidae. They are found, as in others of the group, within ant nests, in the Indo-Malayan region. Adults are rarely seen except at lights. The flat terminal segment of the antenna is thought, based on studies of pupal development, to be formed by the fusion of multiple antennomere segments. The genus, placed by some in the tribe Platyrhopalina, includes the following three species:
Cicindela aurulenta, common name blue-spotted or golden-spotted tiger beetle, is a beetle of the family Cicindelidae.
Metacolpodes is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are at least 30 described species in Metacolpodes.
Neocollyris smaragdina is a species in the tiger beetle family Cicindelidae. It was described by Horn in 1894.
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.
Myriochila distinguenda is a species of tiger beetle found in South Asia. It is found mainly on the muddy shoreline around freshwater. The genus Myriochila is characterized by hooked setae on the femora and four hairs on the pale or whitish labrum.
