Sumlinia is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least two described species in Sumlinia. [1] [2]
These two species belong to the genus Sumlinia:
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.
The Trachypachidae are a family of beetles that generally resemble small ground beetles, but that are distinguished by the large coxae of their rearmost legs. There are only six known extant species in the family, with four species of Trachypachus found in northern Eurasia and northern North America, and two species of Systolosoma in Chile and Argentina. They were much more diverse in the past, with dozens of described species from the Mesozoic.
Pentacomia is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are more than 50 described species in Pentacomia, found in Central and South America.
Amblycheila is a genus of flightless, nocturnal tiger beetles. There are eight species distributed across the southwestern United States and Mexico.
Brasiella is a genus of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae. There are more than 50 described species in Brasiella.
Cheilonycha is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least three described species in Cheilonycha.
Euzona is a genus of beetles in the family Cicindelidae. It was formed from the breakup of the Cicindela genus, and just like Cylindera, is in a state of dispute. Scientists do not agree whether the genus should be considered as a subgenus of Cicindela or kept in its current taxonomic rank. The genus contains the following species:
Iresia is a genus of beetles in the family Cicindelidae, containing the following species:
Langea is a genus of beetles in the family Cicindelidae, containing the following species:
Macfarlandia is a genus of tiger beetles with a single species, Macfarlandia arachnoides. Tiger beetles are placed either in the family Carabidae or in their own family, Cicindelidae, depending on the author.
Micromentignatha is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least three described species in Micromentignatha.
Nickerlea is a genus of beetles in the family Cicindelidae, containing the following species:
Picnochile is a genus of beetles in the family Cicindelidae. This genus has a single species, Picnochile fallaciosa. It is found in Argentina and Chile.
Rivacindela is a genus of beetles in the family Cicindelidae, containing the following species, all of which are found only in Australia:
Grammognatha euphratica is a species of beetle in the family Cicindelidae, the only species in the genus Grammognatha. It is found in the Mediterranean countries, southern Europe, and southwestern Asia.
Iresia psyche is a species of tiger beetle in the genus Iresia.
Cicindelini is a tribe of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae, containing the overwhelming majority of genera and species in the family. There are more than 90 genera and 2,000 described species in Cicindelini.
Ellipsoptera nevadica, the Nevada tiger beetle, is a species of flashy tiger beetle in the family Cicindelidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Rivacindela hudsoni is an Australian species of the family Cicindelinae or "tiger beetle" and is the fastest running insect. The genus Rivacindela is contentiously treated as a subgenus of the broader Cicindela and are typically found in salty habitats such as dry salt lakes and salt streams. The species was discovered in South Australia and described in 1997, with an adult form of approximately 20–21mm in length and a running speed of 2.49 m/s, or 120 body lengths per second.
Pseudotetracha is a genus of tiger beetles in the family Cicindelidae, formerly included within the genus Megacephala, and endemic to Australia.
