Cardiophorus pubescens

Cardiophorus pubescens is a species of click beetle in the family Elateridae, described by Blanchard in 1889. As a member of the subfamily Cardiophorinae, it possesses the characteristic body plan of click beetles, with the ability to right itself using a prosternal spine that engages with a mesosternal groove. The species is known from western Canada, with records from Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. Like other members of its genus, it likely inhabits soil and litter environments, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
