Bothrideres montanus
Bothrideres montanus is a species of dry bark beetle in the family Bothrideridae, described by Horn in 1878. The species is known from North America, though specific details about its biology and ecology remain poorly documented. Members of the genus Bothrideres are typically associated with dead or decaying wood, where they likely feed on fungal hyphae or other microfauna. The specific epithet 'montanus' suggests a possible association with mountainous regions, though this has not been confirmed.
Lithophorus ornatus
Lithophorus ornatus is a species of beetle in the family Bothrideridae, described by Arrow in 1909. The genus Lithophorus belongs to a family of beetles commonly known as dry bark beetles or parasitic flat bark beetles. Bothrideridae are typically small, flattened beetles that are often found under bark or in association with other insects. The specific epithet "ornatus" suggests some form of decorative or distinctive markings, though detailed published descriptions of this species are limited in the provided sources.
