Pasimachus
''Pasimachus'' () is a genus of North American beetles in the family Carabidae Etymology While the exact reason for the naming of the genus is unknown, the name has been theorized to have been derived from Ancient Greek wikt:πᾶς, πᾶς (''pâs''; "all") and wikt:μαχητής, μᾰχητής, (''makhētḗs''; "warrior", "fighter"). It also coincides with the name of Pasimachus, a cavalry commander mentioned in ''Hellenica''. The reason for this naming could be due to the genus' large Mandible (insect mouthpart), mandibles and Carnivore, carnivory.
