Trechini beetles



Trechini are small- to medium-sized ground beetles that require high humidity. Almost half the known New Zealand trechine species are found in caves, which provide an environment close to 100% humidity, and these are highly modified for an underground life. Insects that are restricted to caves have had an interesting history as they have had to cope with major geological changes to the landscape over the last few million years. Surface-dwelling species also require high humidity and are usually found along streamsides or in beach gravel below the high water mark.



There are about 2500 species in the tribe Trechini worldwide. Currently there are 33 species of trechines known from New Zealand, all of which are endemic except one. Amongst New Zealand’s relatively few species are some lineages that are apparently not present in Australia, Tasmania, or South America, giving rise to some interesting biogeographic questions.



Although the number of New Zealand’s trechine species is small on a world scale, they are a special part of our biota because they are one of our most diverse groups of cave insects, they occupy unusual habitats, and they show extreme adaptations to the hostile environments in which they live.



In this Fauna New Zealand Carabidae of the tribe Trechini are revised and relationships to the world fauna are discussed. Their survival during changing geological episodes is discussed.

Cute, sturdy, versatile
Size: 6 Big Kid, Color: Off-white Faux Leather
I bought several pairs of these to get the right sizes lol. I originally purchased for my 9 year old xoxo for a vacation but I got a too big, my 13 year old grabbed them tried them on and LOVED them. So, I ordered three more pair, found the right size for my 9 year old and sent the other two back. These are cute, versatile, sturdy, and GREAT price. I live that they buckle, are closed toes, but airy. Can dress up or down.

Nice sandals, but run a little big
Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Pink Faux Leather, Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Pink Faux Leather
I got these for my oldest daughter, I tend to order a little big so my kids can wear them a little longer. These are a little bigger than expected, however. Not a big deal for us since she has other shoes to wear at this point....BUT I don't think most people would be happy if they not be able to use the product immediately. At any rate, these appear to be very well made. The cushion resembles adult style padding as it's pretty firm. The velcro strap works well and is a good choice for kids. Lastly, these were $25 at the time of testing which is on the high side for kids sandals. These are made of faux or PU leather, so a little surprising. I would expect that price to come down a little to be competitive. Overall though, pretty decent sandals that run a little large.
