Zuphiitae

Zuphium olens, copyright Amy.

Belongs within: Harpalinae.
Contains: Galeritina, Gigadema, Planetina, Helluomorphoides, Dryptini.

The Zuphiitae are a group of carabid ground beetles whose members possess spination on the first stylomere of the ovipositor (Ober & Maddison 2008). They have been divided between several tribes; however, Ober & Maddison's (2008) phylogenetic analysis did not support monophyly of the tribes Zuphiini, Galeritini and Helluonini. Members of the Anthiini and Helluonina are large beetles with an enlarged labrum covering most of the mandibles in dorsal view. Species of the genus Anthia are capable of ejecting a spray of defensive chemicals from glands in the abdomen up to a distance of a metre. Members of the Zuphiini are characterised by truncate elytra and uniformly setose antennae with the first antennomere longer than the following two together. The genus Zuphium, with the head markedly constricted behind the eyes to form a 'neck', has a cosmopolitan distribution concentrated in the tropics.
