Behavioral, feeding, and reproductive record of Oxycheila tristis (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindelinae) in a gallery forest in the municipality of Luminárias, Minas Gerais, Brazil. A copulating pair of beetles was observed, with the female simultaneously feeding on a male Atta sp. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).
