Name
Lachnaces Bates, 1872 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Lachnaces Bates, 1872:201
Type species
Lachnaces sericeus Bates, 1872:202
Way of life
Size range – 3.2 mm to 5.4 mm; these small beetles occur in Amazonian inundation forests of the Varzea and Igapó systems. Adults occur in very wet leaf litter and in rotten wood in swampy areas. One adult was found by insecticidal fogging of the suspended fronds of an Astrocaryum palm; no doubt it was seeking refuge from inundation.
Distribution
Brazil, Perú.
Notes
Currently, three described species are assigned to this genus: however, eight species are represented in the NMNH collection. A taxonomic revision of the group is needed.
