Alobates(Motschulsky 1872) is a genus of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. The name likely comes from Greek 'alo' (variant of allo) meaning 'other', and 'bates' meaning 'one who treads/haunts'. There are at least two described species in Alobates. [1] [2] [3] These species are often misidentified, but can be differentiated by a view of the mentum of the head ventral. A. barbatus have a tuft of long yellow setae, while A. pensylvanicus does not.
