Apocrypha anthicoides
Apocrypha anthicoides is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, described by Eschscholtz in 1831. It belongs to a genus of relatively obscure beetles with limited published natural history information. The species epithet 'anthicoides' suggests a resemblance to beetles in the family Anthicidae (ant-like flower beetles), likely referring to its body form or ant-mimicking appearance. Available records indicate this is a rarely encountered species with minimal documentation in entomological literature.
Polypleurus geminatus
