Elliot Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Hi, I have a bunch of darklings and was wondering if anyone could help me ID a few? It seems many darklings look identical but are different species. I believe they are all Eleodes and the large one is eleodes armata? Thanks for any info! https://imgur.com/a/oK9Pk6b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be Coelocnemis dilaticollis, (formerly C.californica), there are no Coelocnemis in any of those pics. They are all Eleodes, the larger individuals with femoral spines on all pairs of legs are E.armata. Not sure what species the smaller ones are, but definitely some sort of Eleodes, Coelocnemis have golden hairs on their tibiae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
