Eleodes hispilabris is a medium-sized, narrow teneb species with distinctive lines in their elytra and sometimes with reddish elytra (fused wing covers). They cannot fly. Photos on Bugguide.net

Teneb is short for tenebrionidae. Tenebrionidae is the family of beetles that includes darklings like various species of Eleodes, Stenomorpha, Argoporis and death feigning beetles. All of these beetles tend to do very well in communal tanks since they have the same habitat and feeding preferences.
