Trechinae is a subfamily in the ground beetle family, Carabidae. [1]
The subfamily includes the following genera: [1] [2] [3] [4]
Carabus is a genus of beetles in family Carabidae. The genus is highly diverse with 91 subgenera and more than 1000 recognised species, thus is the largest genus in the subfamily Carabinae. The vast majority are native to the Palearctic, but 11 Nearctic species are also known. Carabus spp. are 12–50 mm (0.47–1.97 in) long, and most species are wingless and often very colourful. These are nocturnal, predatory beetles that feed on snails, earthworms, and caterpillars.
Pterostichus is a very large genus of ground beetles with a Holarctic distribution in the subfamily Harpalinae. It has over 1,100 species. The beetles are predatory, but sometimes feed on strawberries. They can be found under rocks and prefer slightly moist, sandy soil although preferences differ between species. Pterostichus contains the following species:
Leistus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic and the Nearctic. It contains the following species:
Brachinus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Nearctic, Palearctic, the Near East and North Africa. Beetles in this genus are commonly referred to as bombardier beetles. The genus contains the following species:
Trechus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic and the Near East. The name is derived from the Greek word trécho, meaning "I run".
Lebia is a genus of predatory ground beetles. Common names include colorful foliage ground beetles and flat ground beetles. They are found worldwide and there over 700 species in 17 subgenera.
Lebiinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae.
Platyninae is a subfamily of ground beetles.
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.
Scaritinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following genera:
Perileptus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Duvalius is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae.
Trechisibus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Trechodes is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Bembidiini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 120 genera and 1,200 described species in Bembidiini.
Lebiini is a tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 250 genera and 4,800 described species in Lebiini.
Trechini is a large tribe of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are more than 270 genera and over 2,400 described species in Trechini, found throughout the world.
Epaphius is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Carabidae.
