Subgenus Agonoderus Dejean, 1829

Agonoderus Dejean, 1829: 49. Type species: Carabus lineola Fabricius, 1775 designated by Brullé (1835b: 15). Etymology (original). From the Greek a (absence), gonia (angle), and dere (neck, by extension pronotum), alluding to the rounded posterior angles of the pronotum of adults (" corselet ovalaire ou en carré dont les angles sont arrondis ") of the three species Dejean had before him [masculine].

Diversity.

Seven species in North America, of which two extend into northern Mexico, Bermuda, the Bahamas, and Cuba.

Identification.

The subgenus has been reviewed by Heading (1964) but his work remains unpublished. Lindroth (1968: 916-920, as comma group) covered four species. A revision of the group would be useful.
