Pseudacrossus Beringi
''Pseudacrossus'' is a genus of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. It is distributed across the Palearctic and Nearctic realms. Species The genus ''Pseudacrossus'' comprises the following species, many of which were previously classified as part of the genus ''Aphodius'': * ''Pseudacrossus absconditus'' (Balthasar, 1932) * '' Pseudacrossus beringi'' Berlov, 1989 * ''Pseudacrossus grebenscikovi'' (Balthasar, 1961) * '' Pseudacrossus grombczewskyi'' (Koshantschikov, 1891) * '' Pseudacrossus kalabi'' (Král, 1997) * ''Pseudacrossus kuskai'' (Stebnicka, 1982) * ''Pseudacrossus nasutus'' (Reitter, 1887) * ''Pseudacrossus przewalskyi'' (Reitter, 1887) * ''Pseudacrossus qinghaiensis'' (Král, 1997) * ''Pseudacrossus serrimargo'' (Koshantschikov, 1913) * ''Pseudacrossus sharpi'' (Harold, 1874) * ''Pseudacrossus smetanai'' (Král, 2011) * ''Pseudacrossus subsericeus'' (Ballion, 1878) * ''Pseudacrossus suffertus'' (Schmidt, 1916) * ''Pseudacrossus tenebricosus'' (Schmidt, 1916) * ...

Scarabaeidae
The family Scarabaeidae, as currently defined, consists of over 30,000 species of beetles worldwide; they are often called scarabs or scarab beetles. The classification of this family has undergone significant change in recent years. Several subfamilies have been elevated to family rank (e.g., Bolboceratidae, Geotrupidae, Glaresidae, Glaphyridae, Hybosoridae, Ochodaeidae, and Pleocomidae), and some reduced to lower ranks. The subfamilies listed in this article are in accordance with those in Bouchard (2011). Description Scarabs are stout-bodied beetles, many with bright metallic colours, measuring between . They have distinctive, clubbed antenna (biology), antennae composed of plates called lamella (zoology), lamellae that can be compressed into a ball or fanned out like leaves to sense odours. Many species are fossorial, with legs adapted for digging. In some groups males (and sometimes females) have prominent horns on the head and/or pronotum to fight over mates or re ...

Palearctic
The Palearctic or Palaearctic is the largest of the eight biogeographic realms of the Earth. It stretches across all of Eurasia north of the foothills of the Himalayas, and North Africa. The realm consists of several bioregions: the Euro-Siberian region; the Mediterranean Basin; the Sahara and Arabian Deserts; and Western, Central and East Asia. The Palaearctic realm also has numerous rivers and lakes, forming several freshwater ecoregions. The term 'Palearctic' was first used in the 19th century, and is still in use as the basis for zoogeographic classification. History In an 1858 paper for the ''Proceedings of the Linnean Society'', British zoologist Philip Sclater first identified six terrestrial zoogeographic realms of the world: Palaearctic, Aethiopian/ Afrotropic, Indian/ Indomalayan, Australasian, Nearctic, and Neotropical. The six indicated general groupings of fauna, based on shared biogeography and large-scale geographic barriers to migration. Alfre ...
