Trox variolatus is a beetle of the family Trogidae, the hide beetles. It is found in North America. [1]
Trogidae, sometimes called hide beetles, is a family of beetles with a distinctive warty or bumpy appearance. Found worldwide, the family includes about 300 species contained in four or five genera.
Troginae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Trogidae which includes extant species and extinct beetle species from the Lower Cretaceous. The subfamily contains the following genera:
Trox is a genus of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Trox atrox is a beetle of the family Trogidae.
Trox contractus is a beetle of the Family Trogidae.
Trox gemmulatus is a beetle of the family Trogidae.
Trox plicatus is a beetle of the family Trogidae.
Trox robinsoni is a beetle of the family Trogidae.
Trox scaber is a beetle of the family Trogidae. The 5 to 8 mm long insect is found worldwide, including in Europe, and lives in bird nests.
Trox sonorae is a beetle of the family Trogidae.
Glyptotrox spinulosus is a beetle of the family Trogidae.
Trox hispidus is a beetle of the family Trogidae.
Trox cadaverinus is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae. Within the genus Trox, it is placed in the core subgenus Trox.
Trox horiguchii is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae. Within the genus Trox, it is placed in the core subgenus Trox.
Trox lutosus is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae. Within the genus Trox, it is placed in the core subgenus Trox.
Trox maurus is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae. Within the genus Trox, it is placed in the core subgenus Trox.
Trox placosalinus is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae. Within the genus Trox, it is placed in the core subgenus Trox.
Trox stellatus is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae. Within the genus Trox, it is placed in the core subgenus Trox.
Trox oustaleti is an extinct species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae described from a fossil found in the Ypresian age Allenby Formation of British Columbia, Canada. Within the genus Trox, it is placed in the core subgenus Trox.
Trox confluens is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae. Within the genus Trox, it is placed in the subgenus Granulitrox. Though this species is disputed, with some taxonomists arguing T. confluens is merely a duplicate of Trox granulipennis, the general consensus is that T. confluens and T. granulipennis are distinct. This beetle lives in Algeria, the Canary Islands, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia.
