Gonocephalum depressum is a species of darkling beetle.[1] The species is widespread in South Asian and South East Asian countries such as, India, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, Indonesia, Laos, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Taiwan, Afghanistan and China.[2][3][4][5]
In Kerala, India, the larva of the beetle is considered as a pest of sweet potato.[6] The seeds of Aeginetia pedunculata are known to attack by the adults where infestations are common during October to November.[7] It is also a predator of the pest Chilo partellus.[8]
