Parallelostethus attenuatus is a species of click beetle in the family Elateridae.[1]
1,8-Octanediol di-hexanoate strongly attracts adult male P. attenuatus beetles, and the sex attractant pheromone of the species may consist entirely of this compound.[2]
The morphology of the "hinges" P. attenuatus uses to "click" have been studied in detail.[3]
In Indiana, it is commonly found in rotten logs, eating decaying moist wood tissue.[4] Elateridae in general are common in wood in Indiana.[5]
