Overview

Clivina collaris is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Scaritinae. It was described by Herbst in 1784.

The Collared pedunculate ground beetle faces significant threats from habitat loss and degradation due to agricultural intensification and urban development in its specialized wetland environments. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and temperature regimes that affect soil moisture levels critical for this species' survival. Conservation status may vary by region or assessment authority, but populations are declining due to the cumulative impacts of human activities on riparian and wetland ecosystems.

Threat summary

Habitat

Inhabits moist soils along riverbanks, stream margins, pond edges, and other riparian zones with sandy or muddy substrates. The species requires areas with consistent soil moisture and is typically found in lowland wetland margins and floodplain environments.
