Trachypachidae is a family of the suborder Adephaga (Coleoptera) constituting the sister group of
Carabidae plus Cicindelidae. Thrachypachidae includes two genera, Trachypachus with two species
from the northeastern Eurasia and other two from western North America and the genus Systoloma
with two species from Argentina and Chile that inhabit the Nothofagus forest of Valdivian Rain
Forest. This Trachypachidae catalog of Argentina presents updated information about the species
found in our country, their synonymic list, photographs of their habit, as well as their distribution in
each province where they have been observed. The compiled information for this purpose has been
gathered over nearly 40 years of personal research, with much of it coming from materials deposited
in museums, institutes, and other collections. Some of the information also comes from publications
by other researchers, both national and international.
