Helops perforatus
Helops perforatus is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, described by Horn in 1880. The genus Helops belongs to a group of darkling beetles that can be challenging to distinguish from ground beetles (Carabidae) due to convergent morphological traits. Like other members of its family, it is likely associated with decomposing organic matter and aridland ecosystems, though specific natural history details for this species remain poorly documented.
