Diamella

Diamella is a genus of beetle in the family Carabidae. It was originally described by Arnošt Jedlička in 1952 as Dianella. Hongliang Shi, Hongzhang Zhou, and Hongbin Liang proposed Diamella as a replacement name in 2013, since Jedlička's Dianella was a junior homonym of the gastropod genus Dianella, described by Gerard Pierre Laurent Kalshoven Gude in 1913.

Originally monotypic, Diamella now contains five species in total:

• Diamella arrowi <small>Jedlicka, 1952</small>
• Diamella barsevskisi <small>Anichtchenko, 2016</small>
• Diamella cupreomicans <small>Oberthür, 1883</small>
• Diamella kaszabi <small>Jedlicka, 1952</small>
• Diamella singularis <small>Anichtchenko, 2017</small>
