Cychrus Pangi
''Cychrus pangi'' is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily of Carabinae. It was described by Deuve & Tian in 2004. Etymology Uncertain, possibly from Cychreus, son of Poseidon and Salamis, or from Cychros, a city in Thrace near a lake whose water was unhealthy. Duméril (1823: 167) stated that Cychros was the name of a bird (probably in Pliny the Elder), but this hasn't been proven. References pangi Beetles described in 2004 {{Cychrus-stub ...

Ground Beetle
Ground beetles are a large, cosmopolitan family of beetles, the Carabidae, with more than 40,000 species worldwide, around 2,000 of which are found in North America and 2,700 in Europe. As of 2015, it is one of the 10 most species-rich animal families. They belong to the Adephaga. Members of the family are primarily carnivorous, but some members are phytophagous or omnivorous. Description and ecology Although their body shapes and coloring vary somewhat, most are shiny black or metallic and have ridged wing covers (elytra). The elytra are fused in some species, particularly the large Carabinae, rendering the beetles unable to fly. The species ''Mormolyce phyllodes'' is known as violin beetle due to their peculiarly shaped elytra. All carabids except the quite primitive flanged bombardier beetles (Paussinae) have a groove on their fore leg tibiae bearing a comb of hairs used for cleaning their antennae.

Cychreus
In Greek mythology, Cychreus (; Ancient Greek: Κυχρεύς) was the son of Poseidon and Salamis, daughter of the river god Asopus. Family By the nymph Stilbe, Cychreus became the father of Chariclo, Chiron's wife. One of his daughters, Glauce, married Telamon who later inherited Cychreus' kingdom after his wife died. Mythology According to numerous sources, Cychreus either: * Fought a dragon/serpent (Cychreides) that was terrorizing the island of Salamis, and upon slaying it was made king. * Raised a dragon/serpent (Cychreides) as a pet, before he became ruler of Salamis. It went on a rampage, and was driven away or captured by Eurylochus, who gave it to Demeter, a goddess who then kept it for her own. * Was known as "the dragon" for his short tempered nature, and terrorized the island of Salamis until driven off by Eurylochus, but was received at Eleusis by Demeter, who made him her high priest.Stephanus of Byzantium, ''Ethnica'' s.v.
