Stenomorpha hispidula
Stenomorpha hispidula is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, subfamily Asidinae. The genus Stenomorpha is taxonomically complex, with modern revisionary work reducing historically recognized species through synonymy. S. hispidula was described by LeConte in 1851. Members of this genus exhibit considerable morphological diversity, with some species being flightless and restricted to specific geographic regions. The species occurs in western North America, though precise distribution details remain limited in available sources.
