Moved from Latridius.
Genus characteristics for Stephostethus, but not for Latridius apply.

Moved from Minute Brown Scavenger Beetles.

Latridius proper (some taxonomic confusion occured in the last decades, thus the extra comment).

cheers, Boris

I have a theory that I haven't put to test: Female beetles of various species will display on a leaf, blossom petal, tree trunk, etc., waiting for a male to find them. I think male beetles could be collected using images of females -- perhaps just an outline would do -- on a solid-colored background. So what I'm imagining here is a shirt printed with outlines or full-blown images of various beetles on it that a beetle collector could wear.
