Oodini is a ground beetle tribe in the subfamily Harpalinae. Oodines are found worldwide (with highest diversity in tropical Africa) and are generally associated with standing water. [1] This tribe contains more than 400 species arrayed in 43 genera. [2] Beetles in Oodini are distinguishable from other members of Carabidae by a combination of two characters: a laterally coadunate metepisternum (a feature of the exoskeleton), and an elytral ridge formed by the fusion of intervals 7 and 8. [3]
These 43 genera belong to the tribe Oodini: [2] [4]
