Anthobium
Anthobium is a genus of rove beetles (Staphylinidae: Omaliinae: Anthophagini) established by William Elford Leach in 1819. The genus has undergone extensive taxonomic revision, with multiple former genera (Deliphrum, Lathrimaeum, Eudeliphrum, Arpediopsis) synonymized under Anthobium. Species are organized into numerous species groups including atrocephalum, fusculum, gracilipalpe, nigrum, morchella, reflexum, consanguineum, crassum, tectum, algidum, morosum, fortepunctatum, and convexior groups. The genus is distributed across the entire Palaearctic region, with highest diversity in mountainous areas of China, the Himalayas, and Nepal.
Estheria
Estheria is a genus of tachinid flies in the family Tachinidae, established by Robineau-Desvoidy in 1830. The genus contains 18 recognized species distributed across the East Palearctic and Oriental regions, including western China, Nepal, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Four species were described as new to science in 2019: E. hirtinerva, E. prostata, E. tibetensis, and E. wangi. As members of Tachinidae, these flies are presumed to be parasitoids, though specific host associations for Estheria species remain undocumented in the available literature.
Patrobini
Patrobini is a tribe of ground beetles (Carabidae) established by Kirby in 1837. Members include subtribe Deltomerodina, which contains genera such as Deltomerodes characterized by slender medium-sized bodies (8.5–12.0 mm), dorsally pubescent tarsi, and distinctive genitalia morphology. The tribe occurs in alpine and high-elevation habitats across the Himalayas and adjacent regions.
