A South Canterbury endemic Mecodema species.
Taught by @philip-howe.
Third time to see this carabid from Timaru district (two are from Claremont bush).
Got larva from driftwood on 9/5. Became to pupa on 10/7. Emergence on 11/9. 34 days of pupa?
In a lizard ACO. Limestone outcrop. Gave off a terrible pong when being handled for photographs.
