Helluomorphoides clairvillei
flat-horned ground beetle
Helluomorphoides clairvillei is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Anthiinae, characterized by the flattened, horn-like projections on the head that give the group its common name. The species was described by Dejean in 1831 and is known from the United States. Like other members of the genus, it belongs to a specialized lineage of carabid beetles with distinctive morphological adaptations. Records indicate extremely limited observation data, with only two documented observations in iNaturalist.
