Amphimenes is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, the ground beetles. They are native to Asia from Burma to Japan to Vietnam.
These are small to medium-sized beetles. They have small to large eyes and short to long antennae. The bodies are totally or mostly hairless. Some are wingless. They are a solid color or may have light spots on the iridescent elytra. Their coloration is mostly dark but the legs are usually lighter, sometimes yellow to red in color.
These beetles live in forests. They can be found in lowlands or in mountains. Species that live in trees have wings; those that live mostly on the ground are often wingless.
