Pogonistes testaceus is a species of beetle of the family Carabidae. It is found in North Africa, on the Iberian Peninsula and along the French coast, as well as in Bulgaria and Greece.
Description
[edit]Adults reach a length of about 5.5–6 mm.
Biology
[edit]The species seems to prefer the most high-saline environments, which could explain why its distribution in the Iberian Peninsula is restricted to the Mediterranean coast. Adults are present all year, with a peak of activity in spring.
