Genus Neuroctenus

Neuroctenus is a genus of flat bugs belonging to the family Aradidae. These bugs are characterized by their flattened body shape, which allows them to inhabit tight spaces, often under bark or within leaf litter. Members of this genus are primarily associated with decaying wood or fungi, reflecting their ecological role as detritivores or mycophagous (fungus-feeding) insects.
