| Type Species: | Scarabaeus nasicornis Linnaeus, 1758, Systema Naturae, ed.10, 1: 346 by subsequent designation by Latreille, 1810, Consid. gén.: 428 * -------------- (*) Cited by Latreille as “Geotrupes nasicornis, Fab.” The genera Aphodius and Oryctes have been attributed to J.K.W. Illiger who had introduced those names in his Verzeichniss der Käfer Preussens in 1798. The discovery of a preview of Illiger’s book, published eight months earlier, prompts a change of authorship to Hellwig (1798) for both of these generic names (Alonso-Zarazaga & Krell, 2011, Zootaxa, no.3060: 67-68) |
