Isocopris Pereira e Martinez, 1960

Notes

This Neotropical genus, frequently misidentified as Dichotomius , comprises seven known species recently revised by Rossini and Vaz-de-Mello (2017), the same work being used to identify the species. No biological information for the genus was found. Two species were identified in our study: Isocopris imitator (Felsche, 1901) and I. nitidus (Luederwaldt, 1922) (Fig. 4 M-N).
