Notes on the taxonomic status of the genus Caelius Lewis (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Aphodiinae)
Abstract:
Caelius denticollis Lew. is redescribed and combined with the genus Aegialia Latr., subgenus Leptaegialia Brown. The remained species previously placed in the genus Caelius Lew. are commented and transferred to the genus Aphodius Illig., subgenus Paremadus Nak. Three new species-names are introduced instead of secondary homonyms. Aphodius (Paremadus) phulcokiensis and A. (P.) annapurnae are described as new and included in a key to the 14 known species of this Asian subgenus. Pertinent morphological details of some species are illustrated.
