Observations on nesting activity, life cycle, and brood ball morphometry of the Bordered Dung Beetle Oniticellus cinctus (Fabricius, 1775) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) under laboratory conditions

Abstract: The nesting activity, life cycle, and brood ball morphometry of the dung beetle Oniticellus cinctus (Fabricius, 1775) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) were studied under laboratory conditions for the first time in India.  The females made a brood chamber within the dung mass provided, wherein they made brood balls to lay eggs.  The life cycle includes egg, larva (three instars), pupa, and adult stages.  The total duration for the development was about one month.  The study found that there was a significant differen… Show more

“…Os insetos são os principais representantes da riqueza de comunidades das florestas tropicais (May, 1996). Dentre eles os insetos coleópteros (besouros), que são pertencentes às subfamílias Aphodiinae e Scarabaeinae da família Scarabaeidae são comumente chamados de besouros rola-bosta, pois se alimentam principalmente de esterco de mamíferos e também o usam para fornecer nidificação e alimento para suas larvas (Singh et al, 2019). Apresenta aproximadamente 4.500 espécies, sendo que 618 espécies são conhecidas apenas no território brasileiro (Halffter & Edmonds 1982, Vaz-de-Mello 2000.…”
