Athous rufiventris rectithorax
Athous rufiventris rectithorax is a subspecies of click beetle described by Reitter in 1908. It belongs to the genus Athous within the family Elateridae, a diverse group of beetles commonly known as click beetles due to their ability to right themselves using a prosternal process. The subspecies epithet 'rectithorax' suggests a characteristic related to thorax shape, though specific morphological distinctions from the nominate subspecies have not been documented in available sources. Very limited information exists regarding its biology, distribution, or ecological preferences.
