• Nebria schwarzi

  Schwarz's gazelle beetle

  Nebria schwarzi is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, first described by Van Dyke in 1925. The species is endemic to western North America, with two recognized subspecies: the nominate form N. s. schwarzi found in Alberta and British Columbia, and N. s. beverlianna restricted to Wyoming. Like other members of the genus Nebria, it is commonly referred to as a 'gazelle beetle' due to its characteristic rapid running behavior.
