Edrotes is a genus of darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae) in the tribe Edrotini, characterized by small, rounded body forms adapted to arid environments. The genus includes species such as Edrotes ventricosus, which exhibits a distinctive fuzzy appearance due to dorsal setae. Members inhabit desert regions of southwestern North America and display seasonal activity patterns influenced by temperature.
Eleodes littoralis
desert stink beetle
Eleodes littoralis is a species of desert stink beetle in the family Tenebrionidae. It is found in California. The species is characterized by its hairy body, which makes it visually similar to Eleodes osculans and Eleodes nigropilosa. Like other members of the genus Eleodes, it possesses defensive chemical glands that produce a characteristic odor when disturbed.
Stenomorpha hirsuta
Stenomorpha hirsuta is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1851. The species epithet 'hirsuta' refers to its notably hairy appearance. It belongs to a genus of relatively small, elongate beetles found in arid and semi-arid regions of western North America. The species is documented through limited iNaturalist observations and museum collections, with sparse published biological information available.
