Amphimenes
Genus of beetles
Amphimenes is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, the ground beetles. They are native to Asia from Burma to Japan to Vietnam.[1][2][3]
These are small to medium-sized beetles. They have small to large eyes and short to long antennae. The bodies are totally or mostly hairless. Some are wingless. They are a solid color or may have light spots on the iridescent elytra. Their coloration is mostly dark but the legs are usually lighter, sometimes yellow to red in color.[1]
These beetles live in forests. They can be found in lowlands or in mountains. Species that live in trees have wings; those that live mostly on the ground are often wingless.[1]
