Pasimachus () is a genus of North American beetles in the family Carabidae Etymology While the exact reason for the naming of the genus is unknown, the name has been theorized to have been derived from Ancient Greek πᾶς (pâs; "all") and μᾰχητής, (makhētḗs; "warrior", "fighter"). It also coincides with the name of Pasimachus, a cavalry commander mentioned in Hellenica. The reason for this naming could be due to the genus' large mandibles and carnivory.
