| Type Species: | Scarabaeus fimetarius Linnaeus, 1758, Systema Naturae, ed.10, 1: 348, by subsequent designation (Latreille, 1810, Consid. gén.: 428)* ----------- (*) Cited by Latreille as 'Aphodius fimetarius, 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) |
