Geotrupidae View in CoL : CRETOGEOTRUPINAE Nikolajev 1996 (L Cretaceous)
Diagnosis: Relatively small body size; abdomen completely concealed by elytra; elytra with more than 11 striae each; protibia tridentate; mesocoxae contiguous; meso- and metatibiae transversely bicarinate. Remarks: The number of elytral striae and the venation of the hind wings ( Nikritin 1977) indicate affiliation with Geotrupidae , but Nikolajev (1996) does not give a single diagnostic character separating Cretogeotrupinae from Geotrupinae .
