註釋The dung beetle fauna richness are very high in tropical regions of the world, mainly, the African and South-East Asian regions. Dung beetle occur throughout the world (except Antarctica) comprising approximately 7000 species. The dung beetles (scarabaeoid) are a member of the order Coleoptera. Scarabaeidae is one of the taxonomically richest group of beetles with many representatives worldwide among the coleopteran families. Scarabaeidae, family of dung beetle in India includes the subfamilies like, Scarabaeinae, Aphodiinae, Geotrupinae, Hybosorinae, Orphininae, Chironinae and Dynamopinae. Dung beetles measure from 3 to 70 mm long and usually are brown or black; sometimes they have a metallic luster. The name (dung-beetles) has been earned by them through their most universal utilization of animal dung as food for themselves, and for their larvae, though, some species for dung beetle larvae are feed upon the other diets, such as, carrion, fungi, other decaying vegetable matters etc., too. The beetles differ in their feeding habits and accordingly, can be categorized into their distinct sub groups.
