Polopinus ingens

Polopinus ingens is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, described by Casey in 1924. The species name 'ingens' derives from Latin, meaning 'huge' or 'enormous', suggesting relatively large size for the genus. As a member of Tenebrionidae, it belongs to one of the largest families of beetles, commonly known as darkling beetles due to their typically dark coloration. The genus Polopinus is part of this diverse family, with species generally associated with arid and semi-arid environments.
