Summary

Description
English: Nomius pygmaeus (Dejean). This species is known under the vernacular name “stinking beetle” because of the strong fetid smell that the adults produce. They are attracted to lights and sometimes find their way into houses. It was reported in the literature that at one occasion an entire village had to be evacuated because of the odor produced by these small beetles. The species was often listed as very common at light in the xix Century but is rare today. The species has an unusual range being found in North America and Europe and there is no evidence that it was transported by man from one continent to the other.
