Trichochrous ferrugineus
Trichochrous ferrugineus is a species of false click beetle in the family Eucnemidae, a group of saproxylic beetles associated with decaying wood. The genus Trichochrous comprises small to medium-sized beetles characterized by their elongated bodies and reduced or non-functional clicking mechanism compared to true click beetles (Elateridae). Species in this genus are typically found in forested habitats where they develop in dead or dying hardwoods.
Trichochrous sp. nova prope pedalis
Trichochrous sp. nova prope pedalis is an undescribed species within the soft-winged flower beetle genus Trichochrous. The species epithet indicates it is a new species ('sp. nova') closely related to T. pedalis ('prope pedalis'). Members of this genus are small to medium-sized beetles associated with flowers and vegetation.
Trichochrous varius
Trichochrous varius is a species of soft-winged flower beetle in the family Melyridae. Members of this family are typically small, often colorful beetles found in vegetation where they feed on pollen and small insects. The genus Trichochrous contains multiple species characterized by their distinctive antennal and elytral features. Like other melyrids, this species likely inhabits flowers and herbaceous vegetation where it functions as both a pollinator and a predator of small arthropods.
