Eleodes
Eleodes (commonly known as pinacate beetles or desert stink beetles) is a genus of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. They are endemic to western North America, ranging from southern Canada to central Mexico, with many species found along the Mexico-United States border. Some species have been introduced to Colombia. The name pinacate is Mexican Spanish, derived from the Nahuatl (Aztec) name for the insect, pinacatl, which translates as "black beetle".
