• Stenomorpha rimata

  Stenomorpha rimata is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, tribe Asidini. The genus Stenomorpha is large and taxonomically complex, historically containing 88 species with limited modern revision until recent work by Fran Keller and colleagues. S. rimata was described by LeConte in 1854. Species in this genus occur in arid and semi-arid regions of western North America and Mexico, with some flightless species restricted to specific mountain ranges.
