• Troglomethes

  false soldier beetles

  Troglomethes is a genus of false soldier beetles in the family Omethidae, established by Wittmer in 1970. The genus contains at least two described species: Troglomethes leechi and Troglomethes oregonensis, both described in the same year. Members of this genus are part of a small family of beetles sometimes referred to as false soldier beetles due to their resemblance to the soldier beetles (Cantharidae).
