Agra catbellae is a species of carabid beetle named after the actress Catherine Bell. The holotype was collected in Costa Rica and first described to science in 2002. [1]
Terry L. Erwin, who described the species, explained that the binomial nomenclature is catbellae because it is the "combined name of the actress starring on the then-current TV program JAG, Catherine Bell. These beetles share the forest with an elegant cat, the Jaguar". [1]
Other species in the genus Agra named by Erwin include Agra liv, named after Liv Tyler, and Agra schwarzeneggeri, named after Arnold Schwarzenegger. [2]
