Monocrepidius
Monocrepidius is a large genus of click beetles (family Elateridae) comprising approximately 380 species distributed worldwide. The genus was established by Eschscholtz in 1829, with the name Monocrepidius taking priority over the simultaneously published Conoderus under ICZN First Reviser rules. Highest species diversity occurs in Australian and Neotropical regions. Larvae of some species possess diagnostic morphological features useful for taxonomic identification.
