Eucamaragnathus is a genus of ground beetles in the subfamily Hiletinae.[1]
The 15 different species of Eucamaragnathus live on various continents. E. amapa, E. batesi, E. brasiliensis, and E. jaws live in South America.[2] Five other species live throughout India and Southeast Asia, in the Indomalayan realm, while the remaining 6 species live throughout Africa, mostly in the tropics.[3][4]
The species of Eucamaragnathus mostly live in the soils within forests, usually tropical or deciduous. They can also be found in savannas.[4]
Eucamaragnathus contains 15 species.[2] However, due to the fact that the species Eucamaragnathus desenderi was only recently discovered,[5] many sources still claim that the genus only contains 14 species.[4]
The following diagram shows how all of the species in the genus are related to one another. This diagram does not include E. desenderi.[6]
