Corticotomus depressus
Corticotomus depressus is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae. The genus Corticotomus is a small group within the tribe Harpalini, characterized by species adapted to particular microhabitats. Very little specific information is available about this particular species in the accessible literature. The species epithet "depressus" suggests a flattened body form, which is common among ground beetles that inhabit tight spaces under bark or in leaf litter.
Cratacanthus
Cratacanthus is a monotypic genus of ground beetles (Carabidae) established by Dejean in 1829. The genus contains a single species, Cratacanthus dubius. It belongs to the tribe Harpalini within the subfamily Harpalinae. The genus is classified within the diverse adephagan beetle radiation.
Discoderus
Discoderus is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae, established by LeConte in 1853. The genus contains more than 30 described species. Members of this genus belong to the tribe Harpalini within the subfamily Harpalinae.
Discoderus aequalis
Discoderus aequalis is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, described by Thomas Lincoln Casey Jr. in 1914. It is known from North America, with confirmed records from the United States. The genus Discoderus belongs to the tribe Harpalini within the subfamily Harpalinae. Like other members of this genus, it is a small to medium-sized ground beetle. The specific epithet 'aequalis' suggests some aspect of uniform or equal proportions, though the original description has not been consulted.
Discoderus amoenus
Discoderus amoenus is a ground beetle species in the family Carabidae, first described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1863. It is endemic to the United States, with distribution records indicating presence in North America. The genus Discoderus belongs to the tribe Harpalini within the subfamily Harpalinae. Like other members of Carabidae, this species is likely predatory, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented in available literature.
Discoderus congruens
Discoderus congruens is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, described by Casey in 1914. It belongs to the genus Discoderus, a group of small to medium-sized carabids within the tribe Harpalini. The species is known from limited records in the United States, with few documented observations.

Piosoma
Piosoma is a monotypic genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the single species Piosoma setosum. The genus was established by LeConte in 1847 and is classified within the tribe Harpalini. It is endemic to North America.

Selenophorus chaparralus
Selenophorus chaparralus is a ground beetle species described by Purrington in 2000. It belongs to the genus Selenophorus, a group of nocturnal ground beetles within the family Carabidae. The species epithet 'chaparralus' suggests an association with chaparral vegetation, a type of Mediterranean scrubland found in parts of western North America. As a recently described species with limited observation records, much of its biology remains undocumented.
Selenophorus fabricii
Selenophorus fabricii is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, described in 2017. The species is known from the Caribbean region, including the Cayman Islands, Hispaniola, and the Lesser Antilles. As a member of the genus Selenophorus, it belongs to a diverse group of small to medium-sized ground beetles commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions.
