Phrypeus
Phrypeus is a monotypic genus of ground beetles (Carabidae: Trechinae: Sinozolini) containing the single species Phrypeus rickseckeri. The genus was described by Casey in 1924 and is considered taxonomically isolated within the supertribe Trechitae. Its phylogenetic relationships remain obscure; larval morphology studies have failed to link it definitively with any other tribe. The first-instar larva has been described and illustrated.
