"This species is one of the seven rhysodid species-group taxa found in eastern North America. These species live in decaying wood, such as logs, stumps or roots, where they feed on slime molds and fungi. The carabids, on the other hand, are carnivorous, herbivorous, or omnivorous feeding on both animal and plant matters" (Bousquet, 2012).

Omoglymmius americanus, the American crudely carved wrinkle beetle, is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodidae native to eastern North America.[1][2] It was originally described by Laporte as Rhysodes americanus in 1836.[3] These reddish-brown beetles reach approximately 8 mm (0.31 in) in length with an elongated body. The pronotum has three grooves and the elytra have numerous indentations, formed in lines. Omoglymmius americanus occur in fungus-infested trees.[1]
