Ground Beetle
Ground beetles are a large, cosmopolitan distribution, cosmopolitan family (biology), family of beetles, the Carabidae, with more than 40,000 species worldwide, around 2,000 of which are found in North America and 2,700 in Europe. As of 2015, it is one of the 10 most species-rich animal families. They belong to the Adephaga. Members of the family are primarily carnivorous, but some members are phytophagous or omnivorous. Description and ecology Although their body shapes and coloring vary somewhat, most are shiny black or metallic and have ridged wing covers (elytra). The elytra are fused in some species, particularly the large Carabinae, rendering the beetles unable to fly. The species ''Mormolyce phyllodes'' is known as violin beetle due to their peculiarly shaped elytra. All carabids except the quite primitive flanged bombardier beetles (Paussinae) have a groove on their arthropod leg, fore leg tibiae bearing a comb of hairs used for cleaning their antenna (biology), antennae. ...

Mecyclothorax
''Mecyclothorax'' is a genus of beetles that contains over 400 described species or subspecies, mostly from the Hawaiian Islands, and Tahiti and Moorea, French Polynesia. Additional radiations have evolved in Queensland, Australia, New Guinea and New Caledonia. The genus has been divided into five subgenera: ''Eucyclothorax'' Liebherr 2018 of Australia, ''Qecyclothorax'' Liebherr 2018 of Queensland, Australia, ''Meonochilus'' Liebherr & Marris, 2009 of New Zealand, ''Phacothorax'' Jeannel 1944 of New Caledonia, and the more widely distributed subgenus ''Mecyclothorax'' Sharp 1903 n Australia, the Sundas, New Zealand, the Society Islands (Moorea and Tahiti), and Hawaii The adelphotaxon to ''Mecyclothorax'' is hypothesized to consist of the genera associated with ''Amblytelus'' Blackburn, also distributed in Australia, and therefore the evolutionary history of ''Mecyclothorax'' commenced in Australia.
