Calosoma angulatum, the angulate caterpillar hunter, is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily of Carabinae.[1] It was described by Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat in 1834.[1] This species is found in Colombia, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and the United States (Arizona, California, New Mexico, Texas), where it inhabits premontane moist forests and oak-savannah.

Adults have been recorded preying on Spodoptera frugiperda.[2]
