Tenebroides nanus

Tenebroides nanus is a species of bark-gnawing beetle in the family Trogossitidae. The specific epithet "nanus" (Latin for "dwarf") suggests small body size relative to congeners. As a member of Trogossitidae, it likely inhabits forest environments where it feeds on fungi, decaying wood, or other organic matter associated with dead or dying trees. The genus Tenebroides contains numerous species primarily distributed across the Northern Hemisphere, with many species poorly studied due to their cryptic habits.
