Fornax knulli
Fornax knulli is a species of false click beetle in the family Eucnemidae. The genus Fornax belongs to a group of beetles commonly known as false click beetles, which resemble true click beetles (Elateridae) but lack the prosternal process that enables the characteristic clicking mechanism. Species in this family are typically associated with decaying wood and forest habitats. The specific epithet "knulli" honors American coleopterist Joseph N. Knull (1879-1964), who described numerous North American beetle species.
Fornax lucidicollis
Fornax lucidicollis is a species of click beetle in the family Eucnemidae. The genus Fornax is part of the false click beetles, a group distinguished from true click beetles (Elateridae) by their inability to produce the characteristic clicking sound. The specific epithet "lucidicollis" refers to the shiny or polished appearance of the pronotum. Species in this genus are generally small to medium-sized beetles associated with decaying wood and forest habitats.
