Coprophanaeus d'Olsoufieff, 1924

Notes

A Neotropical genus with approximately 51 known species ( Schoolmeesters 2022), which are easily identified using the taxonomic keys published by Edmonds and Zidek (2010). This genus is known to be attracted to carcasses and be captured in flight intercept traps ( Vaz-de-Mello 1999). Usually found in fresh carrion at dusk periods ( Halffter and Matthews 1966). For the identification of species, the following works were mainly used: Edmonds and Zidek (2010). Three species were identified in our study: Coprophanaeus degallieri Arnaud, 1997, C. jasius (Olivier, 1789) and C. lancifer (Linnaeus, 1767) (Fig. 3 A-C).
