Nebriagonum

Nebriagonum is a genus of ground beetles belonging to the family Carabidae. These beetles are primarily found in mountainous regions of Asia. Nebriagonum species are characterized by their flattened body shape, adaptation to cold climates, and preference for riparian habitats. They are generally nocturnal predators, feeding on small insects and other invertebrates. The genus is part of the Nebriinae subfamily, which is known for its stream-dwelling beetles. Species within Nebriagonum exhibit significant variation in size and coloration, and taxonomic classification is still an active area of research. The ecological role of Nebriagonum in their specific habitats is that of a keystone predator, helping to regulate insect populations within the ecosystems they inhabit.
