female bark beetles in the genus Pityogenes tend to have depressions in their face, but Pityogenes carinulatus really takes it to a new level. i'm not exactly sure what the purpose of these pits are but my guess is it carries spores of symbiotic fungi, since many other bark/ambrosia beetles have similar mycangial structures elsewhere on their bodies.

not to be confused with incidental face holes, such as this neglected pinned Buprestis specimen that someone let sit out unprotected long enough for a dermestid larva to eat a hole in its face
