Colobopterus is a genus of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are about six described species in Colobopterus, found in Asia, Europe, and North America. [1] [2] [3] [4]
These six species belong to the genus Colobopterus:
Aphodius is a genus of beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. In most species both the adults and larvae are coprophagous although some species have herbivorous or saprophagous larvae. Aphodius species typically dominate dung beetle communities in north temperate ecosystems. Most species are functionally classified as endocoprids, also known as dwellers, because the larvae live and feed within the dung pat itself.
Aphodiini is a tribe of aphodiine dung beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are more than 250 genera and 2,200 described species in Aphodiini.
Labarrus is a genus of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are more than 20 described species in Labarrus, found worldwide.
Oxyomus sylvestris is a species of aphodiine dung beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It occurs in Europe, the Near East, and North Africa. It is saprophagous rather than a "true" dung beetle.
Xeropsamobeus desertus is a species of aphodiine dung beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Dialytes ulkei is a species of aphodiine dung beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in North America.
Dialytes is a genus of aphodiine dung beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are about five described species in Dialytes.
Xeropsamobeus ambiguus is a species of aphodiine dung beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in North America.
Xeropsamobeus scabriceps is a species of aphodiine dung beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Diapterna hamata is a species of aphodiine dung beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in North America.
Hornietus is a genus of aphodiine dung beetles in the family Scarabaeidae, the sole genus of the tribe Hornietiini. There is one described species in the genus, Hornietus ventralis, found in North America.
Acrossus is a genus of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are more than 40 described species in Acrossus, found in Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
