Brachinus

* se artsliste

***Brachinus***  er en slekt av billene i delgruppen (underfamilien) bombardérbiller (Brachininae) i familiegruppen løpebiller. Ingen arter er registret fra Norge.

## Utseende
Små til middelsstore (gjerne 5-10 millimeter), spinkle løpebiller, dekkvingene forholdsvis brede. På farge er dekkvingene ofest mørke, ofte med metallglans, hode, pronotum og bein ofte rødlige. Hodet er omtrent femkantet, fasettøynene forholdsvis små, antennene lange og tynne. Pronotum er omtrent så bredt som hodet, bredere foran enn bak, med innsvungne kanter. Dekkvingene er noe flate, oftest med fine punktstriper.

## Levevis
Artene lever på varme, tørre, solåpne steder. De voksne billene er rovdyr og kan noen ganger finnes tallrikt under steiner. Larvene er ektoparasitter, i alle fall noen av artene angriper pupper av andre biller.
Billene i denne slekten forsvarer seg ved å sprute kokvarme kjemikalier mot angripere, dette kan de gjøre med stor presisjon.

## Utbredelse
Slekten har en holarktisk utbredelse, inkludert det meste av Europa, men er ikke funnet i Norge. Det er tallrike arter i Middelhavsområdet.
