	Manticora (beetle) ''Manticora'' (often misspelled ''Mantichora'' (Latin term for "manticore") following an unjustified spelling change in 1837) is a genus of tiger beetles that is endemic to Africa. Its members are the largest of the family. All species are darkly colored and flightless. Males usually have exaggerated mandibles compared to the females, used for clasping during copulation. Taxonomy This genus was among the first formally described by a pupil of Carl Linnaeus, Johan Christian Fabricius, in 1781. The name ''Manticora'' comes from the ancient Persian for the legendary man-eating manticore. The first species of ''Manticora'' described was '' M. tuberculata'', originally described by Charles De Geer in 1778 in the Linnean genus ''Carabus'', to which it is only distantly related as presently defined. When Fabricius established ''Manticora'' he designated the species ''Manticora maxillosa'', a junior synonym of ''M. tuberculata'', as the type species. Subsequently, numerous authors have ...

	Tiger Beetle Tiger beetles are a family of beetles, Cicindelidae, known for their aggressive predatory habits and running speed. The fastest known species of tiger beetle, ''Rivacindela hudsoni'', can run at a speed of , or about 125 body lengths per second. As of 2005, about 2,600 species and subspecies were known, with the richest diversity in the Oriental (Indo-Malayan) region, followed by the Neotropics. While historically treated as a subfamily of ground beetles (Carabidae) under the name Cicindelinae, several studies since 2020 indicated that they should be treated as a family, the Cicindelidae, which are a sister group to Carabidae within the Adephaga. Description Tiger beetles often have large bulging eyes, long, slender legs and large curved mandibles. All are predatory, both as adults and as larvae. The genus ''Cicindela'' has a cosmopolitan distribution. Other well-known genera include ''Tetracha'', ''Omus'', ''Amblycheila'' and '' Manticora''. While members of the genus ''Cicindela ...
