Absensiugum teres
Absensiugum teres is a species of beetle in the family Eucnemidae, commonly known as false click beetles. The genus Absensiugum was established to accommodate species previously placed in other eucnemid genera. Members of Eucnemidae are characterized by their inability to produce the clicking sound that defines their relatives in Elateridae (true click beetles), despite similar body forms. The species name 'teres' refers to the smooth, rounded body shape.
