Teretriosoma paradoxum
Teretriosoma paradoxum is a small clown beetle in the family Histeridae, described by Lewis in 1888. It belongs to the tribe Teretriini, a group of minute histerids often associated with decaying organic matter and fungi. The species is documented from Central America, with records from Mexico. Like other members of its genus, it likely inhabits microhabitats in forested environments, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Teretrius cylindrellus
clown beetle
Teretrius cylindrellus is a small species of clown beetle (family Histeridae) described by Casey in 1916. It belongs to the tribe Teretriini within the subfamily Abraeinae, a group characterized by compact, often cylindrical body forms. The species is known from California, USA, and is part of a genus whose members are generally associated with decaying organic matter and fungal habitats.
Teretrius placitus
clown beetle
Teretrius placitus is a small clown beetle in the family Histeridae, first described by Horn in 1880. The species belongs to the subfamily Abraeinae, a group characterized by minute body size and reduced elytra. It is known from limited collection records in the southwestern United States, specifically Nevada. As with most Teretriini, detailed biological information remains sparse due to its cryptic habits and small size.
