Leptanthicus staphyliniformis
Leptanthicus staphyliniformis is a species of ant-like flower beetle in the family Anthicidae, described by Werner in 1958. The species epithet refers to its resemblance to rove beetles of the genus Staphylinus. Very few records exist for this species, with only one observation documented on iNaturalist. Members of the genus Leptanthicus are characterized by their elongate, slender body form and reduced elytra that expose multiple abdominal segments.
