''Anthia'' is a genus of the ground beetle family, the Carabidae. Species of ''Anthia'' can spray a jet of formic acid up to , which if not treated, can cause blindness in cats and chickens. In general the beetles are large, armored, fast-moving, with prominent, powerful, sharp mandibles. Some are diurnal predators in semi-arid habitats, some are nocturnal. The genus is one of a group of similar taxa of predatory Carabidae that has been the subject of considerable taxonomic confusion. Several species here and elsewhere included within the genus ''Anthia'' are occasionally referred to as belonging to the genus ''Thermophilum'' (e.g. ''Anthia fornasinii'' referred to as ''Thermophilum fornasinii''〔Picker, Griffiths & Weaving (2004). Field Guide to Insects of South Africa, Struik〕) Furthermore, the spelling has undergone a range of errors and disputes. The currently accepted spelling is ''Termophilum''〔Termophilum Basilewsky 1950 Bull. Soc. ent. Fr. 55 80.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Termophilum - Thermophila - search engine )〕 but ''Thermophilum'' and ''Thermophila'' have been variously used in the past, and even the outright misspelling "Thermophilium" has appeared in some books.〔Schmidt, A.D. & Gruschwitz, M.
