Like other members of the genus Agrilus, it is presumed to develop as a larva in woody plant tissue, though specific host associations remain undocumented.

  • Petalium californicum

    Petalium californicum is a species of beetle in the family Anobiidae (formerly placed in Ptinidae). It is a small wood-boring beetle native to western North America. The species was described by Henry Clinton Fall in 1905 based on specimens from California.

  • Petalium seriatum

    Petalium seriatum is a small beetle species in the family Ptinidae (death-watch and spider beetles), described by Fall in 1905. It belongs to a genus of beetles associated with dry, decaying wood and stored products. The species has been documented in eastern North America, with records from Ontario and Québec in Canada. Like other members of Petalium, it likely inhabits dry wood environments.

  • Ptinus fallax

    Ptinus fallax is a species of spider beetle in the family Ptinidae, first described by Fall in 1905. It is distributed across North America, with records from British Columbia and other regions. Spider beetles in this genus are typically associated with stored products, dried organic materials, and decaying matter. The specific epithet 'fallax' (meaning 'deceptive' or 'false') may allude to morphological similarities with congeners.

  • Tricorynus dichrous

    Tricorynus dichrous is a small beetle species in the family Ptinidae, described by Fall in 1905. The species is known from North America, though detailed ecological and biological information remains sparse. Like other members of the genus Tricorynus, it likely inhabits dry, decaying plant material. Only a handful of observations have been documented.
