Ground Beetle - Panagaeus fasciatus
Copyright © 2007 Will Chatfield-Taylor

Ground Beetle - Panagaeus fasciatus
Lawrence, University of Kansas, Douglas County, Kansas, USA
May 5, 2007
Size: 10mm
I'm pretty certain this is new for the guide. I don't know what it is, but I believe its a Carabid, though I was hoping for Clerid when I caught it.

Also I KNOW it's not pinned correctly, but I have big fingers and this was very small.

Panagaeus spp.
Panagaeus spp. (fasciatus?) ... I can't find this on bugguide anywhere... might be new?

Some info from American Beetles:

Twelve species distributed between two subgenera comprise this Holartic genus. The subgenera exhibit a vicariant relationship, with Panagaeus (s. str.) being Palaearctic-northern Oriental, and Hologaeus being precinctive in the Western Hemisphere. Three species are in the Neartic Region, living in eastern and southwestern United States. The species P. sallei ranges from Ozxaca, in Neotropical Mexico northward to southern Texas and Arizona, in the Neartic Region. Two species, P. crucigerus and P. fasciatus are primarily southern and central eastern, though the latter species ranges westward to Arizona, and northward in the Great Plains to Kansas. Two species, P. fasciatus and P. sallei inhabit dry forest; adults are found in leaf litter. Adults of P. crucigerus live on wet ground. Seen infrequently in daylight, adults are taken most frequently at night, at light sources.

Refernce: Ogueta 1966:1-13 (key to spp. of Hologaeus)

Wow!
Great work, I'm going to put this in the info page! From that description it looks like P. fasciatus is the likely choice. Thanks again!

ok
I've created new subfamily/tribe/genus/spp pages for this group. nice find! As I don't have American Beetles with me I've based this higher taxonomy off that of Fauna Europaea (www.faunaeur.org). But someone should confirm this is the current correct classification!

this should be in the Harpali
this should be in the Harpalinae as Panagaeini... I moved it but am unsure how to delete the subfamily that was created, someone please do that
