Onthophagus
Onthophagus is a genus of dung beetles in the Onthophagini tribe of the wider scarab beetle family, Scarabaeidae. It is the most species-rich and widespread genus in the subfamily Scarabaeinae (the 'true' dung beetles), with a global distribution.
The Genus name derives from the Greek onthos, meaning dung, and phagos, meaning eater.
This genus includes around 30 subgenera and over 2,200 species. Some of the former subgenera of Onthophagus (including Proagoderus, Diastellopalpus, Digitonthophagus, and Euonthophagus) are now widely recognized as genera.
These subgenera are in accordance with the Catalog of Life and the World Scarabaeidae Database (2023).
