Anaides is a genus of scavenger scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae. [1]
The family Scarabaeidae, as currently defined, consists of over 30,000 species of beetles worldwide; they are often called scarabs or scarab beetles. The classification of this family has undergone significant change in recent years. Several subfamilies have been elevated to family rank, and some reduced to lower ranks. The subfamilies listed in this article are in accordance with those in Bouchard (2011).
Scarabaeoidea is a superfamily of beetles, the only subgroup of the infraorder Scarabaeiformia. Around 35,000 species are placed in this superfamily and some 200 new species are described each year. Its constituent families are also undergoing revision presently, and the family list below is only preliminary.
Ochodaeidae, also known as the sand-loving scarab beetles, is a small family of scarabaeiform beetles occurring in many parts of the world.
Hybosoridae, sometimes known as the scavenger scarab beetles, is a family of scarabaeiform beetles. The 690 species in 97 genera occur widely in the tropics, but little is known of their biology.
Melolonthinae is a subfamily of the scarab beetles. It is a very diverse group; distributed over most of the world, it contains over 11,000 species in over 750 genera. Some authors include the scarab subfamilies Euchirinae and Pachypodinae as tribes in the Melolonthinae.
Tyrannasorus rex is an extinct species of hybosorid beetle known to exist in the Miocene epoch and the sole member of the monotypic genus Tyrannasorus. A fossilized example scarabaeoid was found embedded in the amber resin of Hymenaea protera in the Dominican Republic. The species was described by Brett C. Ratcliffe and Federico Carlos Ocampo in 2001.
Allidiostomatinae is a subfamily of beetles in the scarab beetle family, Scarabaeidae. It is distributed in southern South America. Of the ten species, seven are endemic to Argentina. Others can also be found in Chile and Peru. Little is known about the biology of these beetles.
Ceratocanthinae is a subfamily of the scarabaeoid beetle family Hybosoridae. It includes three tribes comprising 43 genera and 366 species; it was formerly treated as a separate family, Ceratocanthidae.
Orphninae is a subfamily of beetles in the scarab beetle family, Scarabaeidae. There are two tribes in the family, the New World Aegidiini and the Old World Orphnini. They are mostly tropical beetles.
Parochodaeus is a genus of sand-loving scarab beetles in the family Ochodaeidae. There are more than 20 described species in Parochodaeus.
Ceratocanthus aeneus, known generally as the shining ball scarab beetle or round fungus beetle, is a species of pill scarab beetle in the family Hybosoridae. It is found in North America.
Ceratocanthus is a genus of pill scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae. There are more than 50 described species in Ceratocanthus.
Pachyplectrus is a genus of thick scavenger scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae containing one described species, P. laevis.
Pachyplectrinae is a subfamily of thick scavenger scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae. There is at least one genus, Pachyplectrus, in Pachyplectrinae.
Hybosorus roei is a species of scavenger scarab beetle in the family Hybosoridae. It is found in North America. Adults feed on carrion in its early stages of decomposition of both vertebrae and invertebrate. Their size ranges from 7-9 mm.
Hybosorus is a genus of scavenger scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae. There are about eight described species in Hybosorus.
Hybosorinae is a subfamily of scavenger scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae. There is at least one extant genus, Hybosorus, in Hybosorinae, and several extinct genera.
Germarostes globosus is a species of pill scarab beetle in the family Hybosoridae. It is found in North America.
Phaeochrous emarginatus, is a species of scavenger scarab beetle found in India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, China, Taiwan, Japan, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, New Guinea, Ryukyu Archipelago, and Australia.
Anaidinae is a subfamily of the scarabaeoid beetle family Hybosoridae. It presently includes 6 extant genera and 3 fossil genera.
