From the article Actizeta fusca on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
As adults, Actizeta fusca are 2.61-2.9mm in length. They are similar to Actizeta albata, but can be distinguished by differences in the shape of the anterior tibia and eyes, and the colour of the scales, body, and antennae. On the outer edge of the front tibia there is a slight depression. The eyes are reduced and less noticeable than in A. albata. The body is brown and is covered in scales that are mostly whitish, but may be dark. These light and dark scales form markings on the body. The antennae is brown.
Range & habitat
These beetles are endemic to New Zealand, where they live on sandy beaches. They are known from scattered localities throughout the North Island and from the Nelson region in the South Island.
