Nyctoporis carinata explained

Nyctoporis carinata, also known as the flightless darkling beetle because both sexes lack wings, is a species of beetle native to central and Southern California.[1] [2] They are found in leaf litter and rocky debris. Preliminary genetic analysis suggests that Nyctoporis carinata and Nyctoporis vandykei may in fact be synonymous species.
