Tiger Beetles of Manitoba: Ecology, Life History and Microsculpture By Robert E. Wrigley, Larry de March and Erwin Huebner
Robert E. Wrigley, 2022
The book covers the 19 species occurring in prairie, aspen parkland, mixed forest, boreal forest, and tundra habitats of Manitoba, Canada. Chapters are entitled: ecology, life history, activity, distribution past and present, tiger beetles as predators and prey, observing tiger beetles, conservation status, historical quotations by scientists, tiger beetles as models for artists, and five pages of references. The book is richly supplied with large-scale images of the beetles and their habitats, 24 electron-microscope images (x 60 to 1800) detailing the morphology of several species, and images of artists' renditions of tiger beetles (e.g., belt buckle).

Validation of tiger beetles as distinct family (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae), review and reclassification of tribal relationships By Daniel P. Duran & Harlan M. Gough
Systematic Entomology, 2020
Abstract: The higher-level taxonomy of tiger beetles is re-evaluated in light of recent publications based on large taxon sets and a large number of genetic loci. These studies have demonstrated that tiger beetles are a distinct family, Cicindelidae Latreille, sister to the Carabidae Latreille (ground beetles) or Trachypachidae Thomson (false ground beetles) + Carabidae. Recent phylogenies have also recovered consistent patterns in higher-level relationships within the tiger beetles that challenge the traditional taxonomic framework, most of which is more than a century old. These phylogenetic results are reviewed along with concordant morphological characters to create an updated higher-level classification. The subfamily Collyrinae Csiki is not supported by any modern data. We recognize six tribes, Manticorini Laporte (new sense), Megacephalini Laporte (new sense), Collyridini Brullé, Ctenostomatini Laporte, Cicindelini Latreille and the reinstated Oxycheilini Chaudoir (with emended spelling).
