Glaresis
Glaresis is a genus of beetles, sometimes called "enigmatic scarab beetles", in its own family, Glaresidae. It is closely related to, and was formerly included in, the family Scarabaeidae. Although its members occur in arid and sandy areas worldwide (except Australia), only the nocturnal adults have ever been collected (typically at lights), and both the larvae and biology of Glaresis are as yet unknown. Due to their narrow habitat associations, a great number of these species occur in extremely limited geographic areas, and are accordingly imperiled by habitat destruction.
Trox
Trox is a genus of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.

Trypocopris
Trypocopris is a genus of earth-boring dung beetles.

Ochodaeus
Ochodaeus is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Ochodaeidae.

Ceratophyus
Ceratophyus is a genus of earth-boring scarab beetles in the family Geotrupidae. There are about 13 described species in Ceratophyus.

Phelotrupes
Phelotrupes is a genus of beetles in the family Geotrupidae.
Aegus

Pygopleurus
Pygopleurus is a genus of beetles from the Glaphyridae family.
Parochodaeus
Parochodaeus is a genus of sand-loving scarab beetles in the family Ochodaeidae. There are more than 20 described species in Parochodaeus.

Pleocoma
Pleocoma is the only extant genus of rain beetles (family Pleocomidae) and is endemic to the Pacific states of North America. Fossil remains of Pleocoma have been found in the Yixian Formation in China, suggesting beetles in this genus have existed in something like their present form since at least the Cretaceous period. There are 27 described species in Pleocoma.

Coilodes
Coilodes is a genus of scavenger scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae.

Passalus
Passalus is a genus of beetles of the family Passalidae.
Neochodaeus
Neochodaeus is a genus of sand-loving scarab beetles in the family Ochodaeidae. There are at least four described species in Neochodaeus.
Germarostes
Germarostes is a genus of pill scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae. There are at least 70 described species in Germarostes.

Odonteus
Odonteus is a genus of beetles in the family Bolboceratidae, formerly known by the name Bolboceras. The name Bolboceras was replaced in 1990 when it was discovered that Odonteus had been published one month earlier; this finding was upheld by ICZN Opinion 2138 in 2006, which made the two names synonymous, with Odonteus having priority. Some researchers continue to use the invalid junior name (e.g.).
Mycotrupes
Mycotrupes is a genus of earth-boring scarab beetles in the family Geotrupidae. There are at least 5 described species in Mycotrupes.
Ceratocanthus
Ceratocanthus is a genus of pill scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae. There are more than 50 described species in Ceratocanthus.
Phaeochrous
Phaeochrous is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Hybosoridae. The species are widely distributed over tropical Africa, Madagascar, Aldabra, Yemen, South Asia, South-East Asia, New Guinea and Oceanian islands, as well as North and West Australia.
Madrasostes
Madrasostes is a genus of scavenger scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae.

Ceratotrupes
Ceratotrupes is a genus of earth-boring scarab beetles in the family Geotrupidae.
Xenochodaeus
Xenochodaeus is a genus of sand-loving scarab beetles in the family Ochodaeidae. There are 6 described species in Xenochodaeus.
Apterocyclus

Cyphopisthes
Cyphopisthes is a genus of scavenger scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae.
Aphodiites
Aphodiites is a genus of fossil beetles from the Lias (Lower Jurassic) of Schambelen (Aargau, Switzerland), and the oldest fossil in the superfamily Scarabaeoidea. Its affinities are not apparent; it was initially placed in the Aphodiinae (Scarabaeidae), but its diagnostic characters are shared by beetles such as Glaresis (Glaresidae).

Anaides
Anaides is a genus of scavenger scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae.
