Scaphinotus Dejean, 1826: 17. Type species: Carabus elevatus Fabricius, 1787 by monotypy. Etymology. From the Greek scaphos (barque, nacelle, skiff) and notos (back, upper surface), presumably alluding to the shape of the pronotum of the sole species known to Dejean which has the sides of the pronotum markedly turned out (" bords latéraux du corselet très-déprimés, relevés ") giving the impression of a small boat [masculine].
