Sphoerodes is a genus of in the beetle family Carabidae. There are at least four described species in Sphoerodes, found in Africa. [2] [3]
These four species belong to the genus Sphoerodes: [2] [3]
The Geoemydidae are one of the largest and most diverse families in the order Testudines (turtles), with about 70 species. The family includes the Eurasian pond and river turtles and Neotropical wood turtles.
Choristoneura is a genus of moths in the family Tortricidae. Several species are serious pests of conifers, such as spruce and are known as spruce budworms.
The Pentatomoidea are a superfamily of insects in the suborder Heteroptera of the order Hemiptera. As hemipterans, they possess a common arrangement of sucking mouthparts. The roughly 7000 species under Pentatomoidea are divided into 21 families. Among these are the stink bugs and shield bugs, jewel bugs, giant shield bugs, and burrower bugs.
Amara is a large genus of carabid beetles, commonly called the sun beetles. Many are holarctic, but a few species are neotropical or occur in eastern Asia.
The Mydidae, or Mydas flies, are a cosmopolitan family of flies. It is a small family, with about 471 species described. They are generally large in size, including the largest known fly, Gauromydas heros. Many of the species, in addition to their large size, are mimics of stinging hymenopterans, especially wasps. Most mydids are found in arid and semiarid regions of the world, but they are also found in other habitats.
The Bagridae are a family of catfish that are native to Africa (Bagrus) and Asia from Japan to Borneo. It includes about 245 species. These fish are commonly known as naked catfishes or bagrid catfishes.
Euceratocerus is a genus of death-watch beetles in the family Ptinidae. There are four described species in Euceratocerus.
Nebria is a genus of ground beetles native to the Palearctic, the Near East and North Africa. There are more than 500 described species in Nebria.
Chlaenius is a large and diverse genus of ground beetle. It is native to the Palearctic realm, Afrotropical realm, and Nearctic realm. Worldwide, roughly 1,000 species are currently recognized with the majority of known species occurring in the Oriental and Afrotropical regions. The genus is divided into many subgenera.

Sphodroschema is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are at least four described species in Sphodroschema.
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:
Cothresia is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are at least four described species in Cothresia, found in South Africa.

Bembidion ambiguum is a species of ground beetle native to the Mediterranean region of Europe and North Africa. It is mainly confined to coastal salt marshes on moist clay soil.
Hydrodytinae is a subfamily of predaceous diving beetles in the family Dytiscidae. There are at least two genera and four described species in Hydrodytinae.
Madaglymbus is a genus of predaceous diving beetles in the family Dytiscidae. There are about 15 described species in Madaglymbus. They are found in Africa.
Neobidessodes is a genus of predaceous diving beetles in the family Dytiscidae. There are about 10 described species in Neobidessodes. They are found in Australasia. The genus was first described in 2009, and the type species is N. denticulatus.
