''Calosoma'' is a genus of large ground beetles that occur primarily throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and are referred to as caterpillar hunters or searchers. Many of the 167 species are largely or entirely black, but some have bright metallic coloration. They produce a foul-smelling spray from glands near the tip of the abdomen. They are recognizable due to their large thorax, which is almost the size of their abdomen and much wider than their head.〔Powell & Hogue (1979), California Insects. p. 262.〕 In 1905, ''Calosoma sycophanta'' was imported to New England for control of the Gypsy Moth. The species is a voracious consumer of caterpillars during both its larval stage and as an adult, as are other species in the genus. For this reason, they are generally considered beneficial insects. Several species of this beetle, most notably Calosoma semilaeve (also known as black calosoma) are especially common in the California area. ==List of species== * ''Calosoma abbreviatum'' Chaudoir, 1869 * ''Calosoma abyssinicum'' Gestro, 1880 * ''Calosoma aethiopicum'' Breuning, 1928 * ''Calosoma aethiops'' Jeannel, 1940 * ''Calosoma affine'' Chaudoir, 1843 * ''Calosoma akkolicus'' Obydov Et Gottwald, 2002 * ''Calosoma algiricum'' Gehin, 1885 * ''Calosoma alinderi'' (Breuning, 1928) * ''Calosoma alternans'' Fabricius, 1792 * ''Calosoma altipeta'' Jeannel, 1940 * ''Calosoma ampliator'' Bates, 1891 * ''Calosoma angulatum'' Chevrolat, 1834 * ''Calosoma anthracinum'' Dejean, 1831 * ''Calosoma anthrax'' Semenov, 1900 * ''Calosoma antinorii'' Gestro, 1878 * ''Calosoma argentinensis'' Csiki, 1927 * ''Calosoma arrowi'' Breuning, 1928 * ''Calosoma arrowianum'' Breuning, 1934 * ''Calosoma asper'' Jeannel, 1940 * ''Calosoma atrovirens'' Chaudoir, 1869 * ''Calosoma aurocinctum'' Chaudoir, 1850 * ''Calosoma auropunctatum'' Herbst, 1784 * ''Calosoma bastardi'' Alluaud, 1925 * ''Calosoma blaptoides'' Putzeys, 1845 * ''Calosoma brachycerum'' Gersteacke * ''Calosoma breviusculus'' Mannerheim, 1830 * ''Calosoma bridgesi'' Chaudoir, 1869 * ''Calosoma bulleri'' Beheim And Breuning, 1943 * ''Calosoma burtoni'' Alluaud, 1913 * ''Calosoma calidum'' Fabricius, 1775 * ''Calosoma cancellatum'' Eschscholtz, 1833 * ''Calosoma catenatus'' Roeschke, 1899 * ''Calosoma chihuahua'' Gidaspow, 1959 * ''Calosoma chinense'' Kirby, 1819 * ''Calosoma chlorostictum'' Dejean, 1831 * ''Calosoma cicatricosum'' Chaudoir, 1869 * ''Calosoma concreta'' Casey, 1920 * ''Calosoma costipenne'' Chaudoir, 1869 * ''Calosoma cyaneoventre'' Mandl, 1955 * ''Calosoma cyanescens'' Motschulsky, 1859 * ''Calosoma davidis'' Gehin, 1885 * ''Calosoma dawsoni'' Dajoz, 1997 * ''Calosoma deckeni'' Gersteacker * ''Calosoma declivis'' Dohrn, 1884 * ''Calosoma denticolle'' Gebler, 1833 * ''Calosoma depressicolle'' Chaudoir, 1869 * ''Calosoma dietzi'' Schaeffer, 1904 * ''Calosoma digueti'' Lapouge, 1924 * ''Calosoma diminutum'' Bates, 1891 * ''Calosoma discors'' Le Conte, 1857 * ''Calosoma elegans'' Kirsch, 1859 * ''Calosoma elgonense'' Burgeon, 1928 * ''Calosoma eremicola'' Fall, 1910 * ''Calosoma eversmanni'' Chaudoir, 1850 * ''Calosoma externum'' Say, 1823 * ''Calosoma fischeri'' Fischer, 1842 * ''Calosoma frigidum'' Kirby, 1837 * ''Calosoma fulgens'' Chaudoir, 1869 * ''Calosoma galapageium'' Hope, 1838 * ''Calosoma gebieni'' Breuning, 1928 * ''Calosoma gestroi'' Breuning, 1928 * ''Calosoma glabratum'' Dejean, 1831 * ''Calosoma glaciale'' Kolbe, 1905 * ''Calosoma glasunovi'' Semenov, 1900 * ''Calosoma granatense'' Gehin, 1885 * ''Calosoma grandidieri'' Maindron, 1900 * ''Calosoma granulatum'' Perty, 1830 * ''Calosoma grumi'' Semenov, 1900 * ''Calosoma guineense'' Imhoff, 1843 * ''Calosoma harrarensis'' Jacobson, 1900 * ''Calosoma haydeni'' Horn, 1870 * ''Calosoma himalayanum'' Gestro, 1875 * ''Calosoma imbricatum'' Klug, 1832 * ''Calosoma inquisitor'' Linnaeus, 1758 * ''Calosoma investigator'' Illiger, 1798 * ''Calosoma iranicum'' Mandl, 1953 * ''Calosoma jakli'' Haeckel, Farkac & Sehnal, 2005 * ''Calosoma janssensi'' Basilewsky, 1953 * ''Calosoma karelini'' Fischer-Waldheim, 1846 * ''Calosoma kenyense'' Breuning, 1928 * ''Calosoma klapperichi'' Mandl, 1955 * ''Calosoma kuschakewitschi'' Ballion, 1870 * ''Calosoma laeve'' Dejean, 1826 * ''Calosoma laevigatum'' Chaudoir, 1869 * ''Calosoma lariversi'' Van Dyke, 1943 * ''Calosoma latipennis'' Horn, 1870 * ''Calosoma leleupi'' Basilewsky, 1962 * ''Calosoma leleuporum'' (Basilewsky, 1968) * ''Calosoma lepidum'' Le Conte, 1844 * ''Calosoma linelli'' Mutchler, 1925 * ''Calosoma lugens'' Chaudoir, 1869 * ''Calosoma luxatus'' Say, 1823 * ''Calosoma macrum'' Leconte, 1853 * ''Calosoma maderae'' Fabricius, 1775 * ''Calosoma marginalis'' Casey, 1897 * ''Calosoma marginatus'' Gebler, 1829 * ''Calosoma masaicus'' Alluaud, 1912 * ''Calosoma maximowiczi'' A.
