Megapenthes
Megapenthes is a genus of click beetles (family Elateridae) established by Kiesenwetter in 1858. The genus comprises at least 30 described species distributed across the Holarctic region. These beetles are characterized by the ability to produce an audible clicking sound through a prosternal process that snaps against a mesosternal groove, a defensive mechanism that can right the beetle when overturned.
