Ecology and Economy
| Ecological notes: Observed only once at night on partly dead Erythrina shade tree. The Elaterid, when encountered, tried to hide in a burrow in dead wood, just as broad as the beetles? body. This unusual behaviour suggests an adaptation to the habitat. |
| Habitat: Cacao plantation with diverse layer of planted and naturally grown shade trees. Sampled tree: Theobroma cacao. |
| Agricultural role: No data yet |
