Silken Throscid Beetle
Trixagus sericeus is a small beetle in the family Throscidae, commonly known as the Silken Throscid Beetle. The species was described by LeConte in 1868 and occurs in North America, with records from British Columbia and other regions. Like other throscid beetles, it belongs to a group of small, often overlooked beetles associated with decaying wood and fungal habitats. The specific epithet 'sericeus' refers to the silky appearance of the integument.
