Omophron robustum, the robust round sand beetle, is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in North America[1][2][3][4][5] (Alberta, Ontario, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Wisconsin), where it inhabits the beaches of lakes, rivers and brooks.
Adults are gregarious and nocturnal. During the day, they hide in burrows in the ground or under debris.[6]
