Ah, thanks V for clearing tha
Ah, thanks V for clearing that up! Also, this species is exotic to North America, very widespread in the northeast. It was first reported from the continent by Hoebeke (2010), who is also revising the rest of Rugilus. Rugilus ceylanensis is mostly found in litter and in compost heaps, that's where I found my specimen.
