Pytho seidlitzi
dead log beetle
Pytho seidlitzi is a species of dead log beetle in the family Pythidae, described by Blair in 1925. It is the sole member of the monophyletic P. seidlitzi species group, which is endemic to North America. The species is part of a genus whose ancestors likely became associated with conifers as early as the Jurassic period. Phylogenetic studies indicate that larval characters are more important than adult characters for defining species groups within Pytho.
