JWRay Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Just a few that I would love to get my hands on some day: Graphipterus serrator - the whole genus is very cool looking IMO http://jcringenbach.free.fr/website/beetles/carabidae/Graphipterus_serrator.htm Anthia sexguttata - another carabid genus full of cool beetles http://www.zoopicture.ru/anthia-sexguttata/ And of course the mother of all Scaritinae: http://carabidae.org/taxa/gloriosa-planipennis-pouillade-1914 I might have a slight bias towards Carabidae!
