Anillinus balli
Anillinus balli is a small ground beetle in the family Carabidae, described in 2004 by Sokolov and Carlton. It is one of numerous species in the genus Anillinus, a group of minute carabids characterized by reduced eyes and elongated appendages adapted for subterranean life. The species is found in the United States. Like other members of its genus, it is likely adapted to mesic forest habitats with deep leaf litter and soil crevices.
Anillinus elongatus
Anillinus elongatus is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, first described by Jeannel in 1963. It belongs to the genus Anillinus, a group of small, often eyeless or reduced-eyed beetles typically associated with subterranean or soil-dwelling habitats. The species is known from the United States, with records indicating presence in North America. Like other members of the subtribe Anillina, it is likely adapted to specialized microhabitats such as leaf litter, soil, or caves.
Anillinus jancae
Anillinus jancae is a small, eyeless ground beetle in the tribe Bembidiini. It was described by Thomas C. Barr in 1995 based on specimens from Kentucky. The species belongs to a genus of minute carabids adapted to subterranean or deep soil habitats. Like other Anillinus species, it exhibits troglomorphic traits including reduced pigmentation and vestigial eyes.
Anillinus kingi
Anillinus kingi is a species of minute ground beetle in the family Carabidae, described by Sokolov in 2012. The genus Anillinus comprises small, often eyeless or reduced-eyed beetles adapted to subterranean or hypogean habitats. Members of this genus are typically found in soil, leaf litter, or caves in North America. Anillinus kingi is known from the United States.
Anillinus moseleyae
Anillinus moseleyae is a small ground beetle described in 2004 from the southeastern United States. It belongs to the genus Anillinus, a group of minute, eyeless or reduced-eye beetles adapted to subterranean and soil-dwelling habitats. The species was named in honor of an individual (Moseley), following standard patronymic conventions. Like other members of the subtribe Anillina, it is presumed to inhabit deep soil, leaf litter, or cave-associated environments, though specific ecological details remain limited.
Anillinus murrayae
Anillinus murrayae is a small ground beetle in the family Carabidae, described by Sokolov and Carlton in 2004. It belongs to the genus Anillinus, a group of minute, eyeless or nearly eyeless beetles adapted to subterranean and soil-dwelling lifestyles. The species is known from the United States. Like other members of its genus, it likely inhabits deep soil and leaf litter layers in forested environments.
