Amerizus wingatei
Wingate's riverbank ground beetle
Amerizus wingatei is a small ground beetle in the family Carabidae, commonly known as Wingate's riverbank ground beetle. The species was originally described as Bembidion wingatei by Bland in 1864 and later transferred to the genus Amerizus. It is primarily associated with riparian habitats in eastern North America. Reports of its presence in Europe and northern Asia are disputed and not supported by recent taxonomic reviews.
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.
Dromaeolus striatus
Dromaeolus striatus is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, subfamily Bembidiinae. The genus Dromaeolus is a small group within the tribe Bembidiini, characterized by distinctive morphological features. Information regarding the specific biology and ecology of D. striatus is limited in available literature.
Elaphropus vivax
Elaphropus vivax is a small ground beetle in the family Carabidae, first described by LeConte in 1848. It belongs to a genus of diminutive carabids often associated with moist microhabitats. The species is documented from North America, with records from both Canada and the United States. Like other members of Elaphropus, it is likely adapted to riparian or wetland edge environments, though specific ecological studies are limited.
Ilopina
Ilopina is a genus of small ground beetles in the family Carabidae. These beetles are part of the diverse Bembidiinae subfamily, which contains many species adapted to riparian and moist habitats. The genus is characterized by its compact body form and association with wet environments.
