Passalus interruptus is a beetle of the Family Passalidae.
Passalus interruptus can reach a length of about 35–50 millimetres (1.4–2.0 in). The females are smaller than the males. Body is elongated, almost cylindrically shaped and completely black, head has a crooked horn between the eyes and mandibles show three teeth at the extremity and one in the middle. The lower jaw is very strong. Elytra are deeply furrowed. This beetle feeds on tree sap.
This species can be found in Panama and French Guiana. It prefers mixed deciduous forests.
Passalidae is a family of beetles known variously as "bessbugs", "bess beetles", "betsy beetles" or "horned passalus beetles". Nearly all of the 500-odd species are tropical; species found in North America are notable for their size, ranging from 20–43 mm, for having a single "horn" on the head, and for a form of social behavior unusual among beetles.
The California spiny lobster is a species of spiny lobster found in the eastern Pacific Ocean from Monterey Bay, California, to the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexico. It typically grows to a length of 30 cm (12 in) and is a reddish-brown color with stripes along the legs, and has a pair of enlarged antennae but no claws. The interrupted grooves across the tail are characteristic for the species.
Odontotaenius disjunctus, the patent-leather beetle or horned passalus, is a saproxylic beetle in the family Passalidae which can grow to just over an inch-and-a-half long, weigh 1-2 grams and are capable of pulling 50 times their own weight. They have been used to study several aspects of general family characteristics since the early 1900s but remain a relatively unknown species within the diverse Coleoptera order.
