Atholus confinis
Atholus confinis is a small histerid beetle with a broad geographic distribution spanning the Caribbean, Afrotropical region, Middle East, and introduced populations in the southeastern United States. The species has been recorded from numerous island and mainland localities, suggesting either natural dispersal capabilities or human-mediated spread. As a member of the Histeridae, it likely occupies microhabitats associated with decaying organic matter. The scattered distribution pattern indicates potential for synanthropic association or long-distance dispersal.
