Tachys austinicus
Tachys austinicus is a small ground beetle in the family Carabidae, first described by Casey in 1918. It belongs to the large genus Tachys, which comprises numerous diminutive carabid beetles often associated with moist habitats. The species was originally described under the genus Paratachys, which is now treated as a subgenus of Tachys. Like other members of this genus, it is likely to be found in leaf litter, soil, and other ground-level microhabitats, though specific ecological details for this species remain poorly documented.
Tachys bradycellinus
Tachys bradycellinus is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, described by Hayward in 1900. The genus Tachys comprises small, fast-running beetles often found in moist microhabitats. Records indicate this species occurs in the United States and North America. Like other members of the genus, it is likely associated with riparian or wetland edges where it preys on small invertebrates.
Tachys columbiensis
Tachys columbiensis is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, described by Hayward in 1900. It belongs to the genus Tachys, a diverse group of small, fast-running beetles commonly known as 'tachys' or 'minute ground beetles.' The genus is characterized by tiny body size and rapid movement. Records indicate presence in the United States and North America.
Tachys corax
Tachys corax is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is a small beetle species distributed across North America, with records from both Canada and the United States. Like other members of the genus Tachys, it belongs to a group of minute carabid beetles often associated with riparian and moist habitats. The species was described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1852.
Tachys edax
Tachys edax is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, first described by LeConte in 1852. It belongs to the genus Tachys, a group of small, fast-running beetles commonly known as tiger beetles or ground beetles. The species is recorded from North America, specifically Canada and the United States. Like other members of Carabidae, it is likely a predatory beetle, though specific ecological details for this species remain poorly documented.
Tachys potomaca
Tachys potomaca is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, described by Erwin in 1981. It belongs to the tribe Bembidiini within the subfamily Trechinae. The species has been recorded in the United States, with distribution data indicating presence in North America. It was originally described under the genus Paratachys, which is now treated as a synonym or subgenus of Tachys. Like other members of the genus, it is likely a small, fast-running beetle associated with ground habitats.
Tachys pumilus
Tachys pumilus is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is distributed across North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The genus Tachys contains numerous small, fast-running ground beetle species, though specific biological details for T. pumilus remain poorly documented in published literature.
Tachys rhodeanus
Tachys rhodeanus is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in North America. The species was described by Casey in 1918.
