Which species?

Hello all,

who knows the names of these two species.

The one on picture 1 is about 1,5 cm long and the other ones on picture 2 are about 2,5 cm

Helle everybody,

the ones on picture two are from Burma/Myanmar (Tenasserum)

I hope this helps...

I can make new photos of the beetle on picture one because that picture is not very clear.

Hi,

It's difficult to say, but i think

1) is Scarabaeidae spec.

2) is Aphodiinae spec. <-- I'm not sure

Hello all, here is the new and better picture...

I hope this helps.

How wonderful. I always like it, scientific names used in the wrong way. Scarabaeidae spec. = nonsens, Scarabaeus spec. = right. Question is, what did you mean? A member of the family Scarabaeidae or a member of the genus Scarabaeidae? the same mistake with Aphodiinae spec. A member of the subfamily Aphodiinae or a member of the genus Aphodius? Please use scientific names the right way.

#1 subfamily Scarabaeinae and possibly genus Scarabaeus, but not for sure

#2 subfamily Rutelinae, something close related to genus' Anomala and Mimela

Hi,

I'm not sure but could #1 be a Phanaeus species?

Thanks,
Wessel Herrewijnen

Klaas Reißmann

No. Phanaeus do have a horn on top of the head. This one has got the typical form (especially the fron part) of a Scarabaeus, so it is a Scarabaeus or a genus very close related to Scarabaeus.

Well, certain Phanaeus females don't have a horn on the top of the head....

You're right about the typical Scarabaeus form the beetle does have but do you know any subspecies of this species which can be a close genus to the one on picture 1?

Thanks and regards Wessel Herrewijnen

Klaas Reißmann

No, sorry, I'm not fit in beetles out of Europe.

No problem, do you know any sites where I can search for more information about these species?

Klaas Reißmann

No. If I would be more interrested in beetles of the world, I possibly would know any, but I don't. I'm much more interrested in the beetles of Centraleurope and Europe.

Hi,

if number 1 is of neotropical origin, it could be a Canthon sp.
