Carcinops corticis
Carcinops corticis is a species of hister beetle in the family Histeridae, described by Marseul in 1863. It belongs to a genus containing predatory beetles associated with decaying organic matter and animal waste environments. The species occurs in the southwestern United States and Mexico. As with other Carcinops species, it likely functions as a predator of fly eggs and larvae in manure-rich habitats, though specific ecological data for this species is limited.
