A Revision of the World Species of the Tribe Aegialiini (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Aphodiinae)
Abstract:
The present paper contains a review of the species of the tribe Aegialiini of the world. Notes on morphology, taxonomy, bionomy and distribution are added. Four species are described as new. Several taxa are synonimized or their status is lowered as no constant differences were found among them or the distinguishing characters proved insufficient. The phylogeny of several groups of species is explained on the ground of their supposed historical interrelation, present distribution and structure of female genitalia. The characters of female genitalia have not been utilised to date, however, they are of taxonomical importance.
