Oromus is a genus of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are at least two described species in Oromus, found in the Palearctic. [1] [2] [3]
These two species belong to the genus Oromus:
Aphodiinae is a subfamily of the scarab beetle family, Scarabaeidae. Members of this subfamily are known commonly as the small dung beetles and many, but not all, are dung beetles. These beetles are found worldwide.
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.
Psammodius is a genus of aphodiine dung beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are at least 3 described species in Psammodius.
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.
Dialytes is a genus of aphodiine dung beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are about five described species in Dialytes.
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.
Dendarus is a genus of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. The genus is distributed from Morocco to Caucasus and exhibits a high level of diversity with 36 species, 27 of which are island endemics. Analyses of the phylogenetic relationships of 23 species from Greece and Turkey revealed 13 distinct lineages with several para- and polyphyletic cases corresponding to three major phylogroups [south/south-east Aegean ; central to north Aegean, Turkey and mainland Greece and mainland Greece ].
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.
Heptaulacus is a genus of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are about eight described species in Heptaulacus, found in the Palearctic. Some of these species have been transferred from the genus Aphodius.
Agrilinus is a genus of beetles belonging to the subfamily Aphodiinae.
Ammoecius is a genus of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are at least 20 described species in Ammoecius, found in Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Liothorax is a genus of beetles belonging to the subfamily Aphodiinae.
Melinopterus is a genus of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are more than 20 described species in Melinopterus.
Teuchestes is a genus of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are about 10 described species in Teuchestes, found worldwide.
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.
Volinus is a genus of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. This genus has a single species, Volinus sticticus. It is found in Europe and Asia.
Calamosternus is a genus of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are more than 20 described species in Calamosternus.
Oscarinus is a genus of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are about 19 described species in Oscarinus, found in North, Central, and South America.
Bodilopsis is a genus of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are at least four described species in Bodilopsis, found in Europe and Asia.
