Taphrocerus sulcifrons
Taphrocerus sulcifrons is a small buprestid beetle described by Fisher in 1922. The species belongs to the genus Taphrocerus, a group of minute metallic beetles often associated with sedges and other herbaceous plants in moist habitats. Based on collection records, this species occurs in both Middle America and North America. Field observations indicate adults are active in spring and early summer, with specimens collected by sweeping vegetation near water sources.
