Genus Patrobus Dejean, 1821

Patrobus Dejean, 1821: 10. Type species: Carabus rufipes Fabricius sensu Duftschmid, 1812 (= Carabus atrorufus Strøm, 1768) designated by Curtis (1827: plate 192). Etymology. Uncertain, possibly from the Greek patros (father, by extension homeland) and the Latin suffix - bus (having the quality of) rather than the Greek bos (ox, cow, cattle) [masculine]. According to Desmarest (1851: 132), the name derived from the Greek petros (stone) and bios (life). The name was proposed by Johann Karl Megerle von Mühlfeld and made available by Dejean.

Neopatrobus Darlington, 1938: 155. Type species: Feronia longicornis Say, 1823 by original designation. Synonymy established by Lorenz (1998: 226). Etymology. From the Greek prefix neo - (new) and the generic name Patrobus [q.v.] [masculine].

Geopatrobus Darlington, 1938: 157. Type species: Platysma foveocollis Eschscholtz, 1823 by original designation. Synonymy established by Bousquet and Larochelle (1993: 159). Etymology. From the Greek prefix geo - (earth) and the generic name Patrobus [q.v.] [masculine].

Diversity.

Sixteen species in the arctic, subarctic, boreal, and temperate areas of the Nearctic (seven species) and Palaearctic (13 species) Regions. Four species are Holarctic.
