Overview

Zabrus tenebrioides is a species of black coloured ground beetle in the Pterostichinae subfamily that can be found everywhere in Europe and the Near East.

Zabrus tenebrioides faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urbanization in its limited Mediterranean range. The species' specialized ecological requirements and restricted distribution make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human disturbance.
