Pactopus hornii

LeConte, 1868

Pactopus hornii is a small in the Throscidae (false click beetles), described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1868. Members of this family are characterized by their compact, rounded bodies and the prosternal process that fits into a mesosternal cavity—a clicking mechanism distinct from that of true click beetles (Elateridae). The Pactopus is small and poorly studied, with species occurring in North America.
