Trypocopris pyrenaeus is a species of dor beetles. [1]
This species is present in Andorra, British Islands, Bulgaria, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain and Portugal. [2]
Trypocopris pyrenaeus can reach a length of 12–26 millimetres (0.47–1.02 in). [3] These beetles are blackish, with green, blue and violet glare. The elytra are shiny and rather smooth, without any striae. The dark elytra show no infrared reflectance. [4] The pronotum is a little punctured. [5]
Adults can be found from spring to summer. These beetles are coprophagus, occasionally mycophagous. [3] They usually carry to the nest portions of animal droppings, on which the females will deposit the eggs. [6]
