Agra liv is a species of carabid beetle found in Costa Rica and Panama.[1] It is named after the actress Liv Tyler, starlet of the movie Armageddon, because the "existence of this species of elegant beetle is dependent upon the rainforest not undergoing an armageddon."[1][2]
The holotype was collected in Costa Rica and first described to science in 2002.[1]
Agra liv measure 14–15.5 mm (0.55–0.61 in) in length and 3.4–4.6 mm (0.13–0.18 in) in width.[1]
