Rhysodidae -Clinidium spp.-Wrinked Bark Beetle - Clinidium - Male
Blacksburg Natural Heritage Park (Brown's Farm), Mongomery County, Virginia, USA
September 20, 2006
Size: 6mm
I found this digging through an old apple (I think) log looking for termites. The funny thing was that I was looking for cucujids; I didn't find any, but I was not disappointed. Keyed out using Arnett's American Beetles Vol. 1.

Thanks to Hillery for letting me use her camera!

New family for guide
Great! Small family only a couple of genera with maybe a dozen or so spp. in region covered by the guide. It may be possible to put a sp. name on this - there can't be many from VA.
