Vitellius
Vitellius is a genus of click beetles in the family Eucnemidae, established by Bonvouloir in 1871. The genus belongs to the order Coleoptera and is part of the false click beetle family, which is distinguished from the true click beetles (Elateridae) by certain morphological features. The genus name is derived from Aulus Vitellius, a Roman emperor who ruled briefly in 69 AD during the Year of the Four Emperors. As of current records, the genus has 14 observations documented on iNaturalist, though detailed biological information remains limited.
