Zopherus nodulosus haldemani, Zopherus nodulosus nodulosus[1]

Zopherus nodulosus, is a species of ironclad beetle in the family Zopheridae.[2] It is found in Central America and North America.[3][4][5]

The species name nodulosus refers to the bumps or nodes on the beetle's back.[6][7]

Z. n. haldemani

[edit]

Z. n. haldemani Horn, 1870, common names Haldeman's ironclad beetle[8] or Texas ironclad beetle,[7] is sometimes treated as a separate species.[2][9] It can grow between 1.5 and 2 centimetres in length. The body is a blotchy black-and-white pattern, and the legs are fully black.[10][11] The subspecies name, haldemani, references the Haldeman brothers (Samuel Haldeman and Horace Haldeman), the former a naturalist and philologist, the latter a soldier and one of the first people to concentrate on insect collection in Texas.[12][13][7][9]

They are thought to feed on lichen and dead plant material.[7][11] Females have been observed laying eggs on American elms, and larvae and pupae have been found in pecan wood,[11][9] which "apparently serves as the developmental site for this species".[11] They are found in East and Central Texas.[14][9]

Z. n. nodulosus can grow between 1.4 and 2.8 centimetres in length, and 0.5 to 1.1 cm in width.[15]
