Helops fresnoensis
Helops fresnoensis is a darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, described by Blaisdell in 1931. The species epithet indicates a type locality in Fresno, California. As a member of the genus Helops, it belongs to a group of darkling beetles that can be distinguished from ground beetles by concealed mandibles and bead-like antennae segments, though some Helops species have antennae that approach the filiform condition seen in Carabidae.
