Type species: Carabus vestitus Paykull, 1790 designated by Jeannel (1942: 971). Etymology. From the generic name Chlaenius [ q.v .] and the Latin suffix - ellus (small, little) [masculine]. Agrochlaenius Basilewsky and Grundmann, 1954: 240. Type species: Buprestis variegatus Geoffroy, 1785 (= Chlaenius olivieri Crotch, 1870) by original designation. Etymology. From the Greek agros (field) and the generic name Chlaenius [ q.v .] [masculine]. Note. This name was first proposed by Lutshnik (1933b: 171). However, because he failed to designate a type species, the name cannot be attributed from this publication (ICZN 1999: Article 13.3). Diversity. About 80 species in all zoogeographical regions except the Australian Region. The subgenus is best represented in the Northern Hemisphere with 58 species (about 73.5% of the world fauna) of which 17 are found in North America.
