NEW STATE RECORDS FOR CARABIDAE (COLEOPTERA: ADEPHAGA), INCLUSIVE OF CICINDELIDAE, IN DELAWARE, U.S.A.
By Nathaniel N. Levia, Anthony M. Deczynski, and Charles R. Bartlett
Entomological News Vol 132, Number 4, September & October 2025
ABSTRACT: The Carabidae (Coleoptera) is a large and diverse family of predatory and herbivorous beetles. Previously, 206 species (including Cicindelidae) were known to occur in Delaware. Eighteen new state records have been discovered in the University of Delaware Insect Research Collection, and one confirmation of a doubtful record. State records are listed along with the label data for each voucher specimen. This study increases our understanding of the biodiversity of Carabidae in Delaware and brings the total species count to 226.

An annotated checklist of ground beetles (Carabidae) in the state of Sonora, Mexico with new species & collection localities

Dugesiana 29(1): 41-137, 2021
Complete title: An annotated checklist of ground beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera: Carabidae) occurring in the state of Sonora, Mexico with descriptions of new species and notes about some collection localities.

ABSTRACT
An annotated checklist of ground beetles in the family Carabidae from the state of Sonora in Mexico is presented with notes including number of specimens examined, municipios, habitat, vegetation, elevation, and collection dates. The checklist includes 388 taxa, of which 270 are described taxa (included are 19 subspecies and 1 hybrid) and 118 are unnamed morphospecies, in 92 genera representing 35 tribes. Dot maps display where specimens were collected. Three new species are described, with corrected keys and images: Calathus mcclevei, new species (type locality: Mexico, Sonora, Municipality of Yécora, 10 km south of Yécora, ca. 28.278° N 108.926° W); Calathus tigrinus, new species (type locality: Mexico, Sonora, Municipality of Nacozari de García, Rancho El Tigre, 28.3 km (by air) WNW Bavispe, Sierra El Tigre, 30.58988° N 109.20811° W); and Amblygnathus balli, new species (type locality: Mexico, Sonora, Municipality of Fronteras, Rancho Capulín, 23.5 km (by air) WSW Fronteras, Sierra Buenos Aires, 30.76167° N 109.82361° W).

Western Hemisphere Zuphiini: descriptions of Coarazuphium whiteheadi (new species), Zuphioides (new genus), and classification

Full Title: Western Hemisphere Zuphiini: descriptions of Coarazuphium whiteheadi, new species, and Zuphioides, new genus, and classification of the genera (Coleoptera, Carabidae)

The article's main impact on BugGuide is that North American species previously belonging to Zuphium would be moved to genus Zuphioides. The latter Latinized name is treated as neuter and so the previous epithets under Zuphium remain unaffected.
