Dalopius pennsylvanicus
Dalopius pennsylvanicus is a species of click beetle in the family Elateridae, first described by W.J. Brown in 1934. It belongs to a genus of small to medium-sized beetles characterized by the ability to right themselves when flipped using a specialized prosternal process that clicks against a mesosternal groove. The species has been documented in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Dalopius virginicus
Dalopius virginicus is a species of click beetle in the family Elateridae. The genus Dalopius belongs to the subfamily Dendrometrinae, a group of click beetles characterized by their ability to produce a clicking sound through a prosternal process that fits into a mesosternal cavity. Very little published information exists specifically for this species. The species epithet "virginicus" suggests a potential association with the state of Virginia or the broader Virginian biogeographic region in eastern North America, though this has not been confirmed in the available literature.
