Pergetus
Pergetus is a genus of antlike flower beetles in the family Anthicidae, established by Casey in 1895 based on Eurygenius campanulatus LeConte, 1874. The genus currently contains at least two described species: Pergetus campanulatus and Pergetus wilati. A 1960 taxonomic revision redefined the genotype using both male and female characters and established the genus limits. Members of this genus are small beetles that superficially resemble ants in their morphology and movement.
