Comments.
Callicerus rigidicornis
is recorded from North America as an adventive species for the first time based on Ontario specimens collected in agricultural hedgerows. Males of this species do not have their antennomere 10 conspicuously elongate as in
Callicerus obscurus
.
Callicerus rigidicornis
is separated from
Callicerus obscurus
by the more transverse pronotum (Fig. 65). In both its native range and in Canada, this species is collected from the same habitats as
Callicerus obscurus
though the true microhabitat may be subterranean (
Assing 2001
).
