Loricera
Loricera is a genus of ground beetles (Carabidae) comprising approximately 17 described species. It is the sole genus of the subfamily Loricerinae. Members of this genus are distinguished by a remarkable morphological specialization: modified antennal setae that form a prey-capture apparatus for hunting Collembola (springtails). The genus has a Holarctic distribution, occurring in both the Palearctic and Nearctic regions.
