Quedius fuliginosus (Gravenhorst, 1802) |
Quedius fuliginosus is a beetle found in Britain and, possibly by traveling in dry ballast, North America. [1] It is similar in appearance to Quedius curtipennis , which is a more common species, however, the eyes of fuliginosus are more convex and the basal antennal segments darker. The punctures on the elytra are slightly stronger in curtipennis.
