Cremastocheilus lengi Cazier
Cremastocheilus lengi can be easily separated out from other Cremastocheilus, it has 4-segmented tarsi. Pheidole desertorum has been reported as the most probable host ant for this beetle. [A Comparative Study of the Symbiotic Relationships Between Beetles of the Genus Cremastocheilus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) and their Host Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae. Gary D. Alpert, Sociobiology vol 25, No. 1 1994] The clypeus is also strongly carinate at middle, elytra disc with punctures in the form of elongate scratches, some of the punctures being longitudinally connected. This beetle has been collected from Pheidole nests on several occasions. Distribution is primarily central and southern Arizona.
