The family Tenebrionidae is the fifth largest family of the order Coleoptera All Gonocephalum species are characteristic elements of open land in different altitudes, but lacking in closed mature forests. They can be found quite often in cultivated land along roads, in bushlands. Gonocephalum species are mostly collected under stones but also under bark of rotten trunks or under cattle excrements where they usually aggregate during daytime (Schawaller, 1997). Except (Hegde, 2012), there is no report on the Tenebrionidae fauna of Karnataka state. The collection of Gonocephalum strangulatum (Fairmaire, 1888) in the arecanut plantation, under the stone from Kadatoka village (North Kanara), Karnataka state constitutes the new record of that species not only from Karnataka state, but also from India.
