Calodromius Reitter, 1905

Type species.

Carabus quadrinotatus Panzer, 1799 (= Carabus spilotus Illiger, 1798).

Calodromius is poor in species among the subtribe Dromiusina, with only eight species in the world (Anichtchenko 2017), seven species of which are from the Palaearctic realm (Kabak 2003). The genus Calodromius can be identified among its related genera by combination of characters: antennomeres II shorter than III; pubescence starts from antennomeres IV; base of pronotum weakly incised towards hind angles; elytra broadened posteriorly; tarsomeres I of hind legs as long as last. Calodromius mayeti (Bedel 1907) is the only representative of the genus from Arabian Peninsula, recorded from Madina, Saudi Arabia (Mateu 1986).
