Description

Beetles of this genus have a small transverse scutellum.[1][2] In most species, the pronotum has a round impression before the base.[3][4] The prosternum has a pubescent (hairy) impression in front of each fore coxa, also visible from the sides.[1][2] The sides of the prothorax are slightly dentate (toothed).[2][4] The tarsi of all legs have three segments, as with all Latridiidae.[5] In males, the first tarsomere of the fore tarsus is dilated.[1][4]

In North America, this genus can be recognised by being >1.8 mm long and having rather elongate elytra.[3]

Ecology

Corticaria in nature live on mouldy substances, bark, wood waste, leaf litter, decaying seaweed and flowering vegetation.[1][6] They can also be found in artificial environments such as stables, barns and piles of wood.[1]

Adults of Corticaria impressa have been seen grazing lichens on decaying hazel bark.[6]
