Carlo Giuseppe Gené (7 December 1800 – 14 July 1847) was an Italian naturalist and author. Gené was born at Turbigo in Lombardy and studied at the University of Pavia. He published a number of papers on natural history, particularly entomology. In 1828 he became an assistant lecturer in natural history at the university, and in the following year he traveled to Hungary, returning with a collection of insect specimens. Between 1833 and 1838 he made four trips to Sardinia collecting insects. In 1830 Gené succeeded Franco Andrea Bonelli as professor of zoology and director of the Royal Zoological Museum at Turin. Most of his insect collection is in the Turin Museum of Natural History.

Hide Beetle
Trogidae, sometimes called hide beetles, is a family of beetles with a distinctive warty or bumpy appearance. Found worldwide, the family includes about 300 species contained in four or five genera. Trogids range in length from 2 to 20 mm. Their shape is oblong to oval, with a generally flat abdomen. Their color ranges from brown to gray or black, and they often encrust their bodies with soil. They resemble scarab beetles with heavy limbs and spurs. They are scavengers and are among the last species to visit and feed on carrion. They are most often found on the dry remains of dead animals. Both adults and larvae eat feathers and skin. Some species are found in bird and mammal nests. Details of the life histories of many species are poorly known, since many are specialized to particular types of nests. They are often overlooked by predators and collectors due to their behaviors of covering their bodies with soil and becoming motionless when disturbed. This group may also be co ...

Trox
''Trox'' is a genus of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae. Taxonomy In recent years, scientists have revamped the taxonomy of ''Trox''. The formerly massive genus, which boasted a whopping 160 species, has been cut down. Specifically, the subgenera ''Phoberus'' and ''Glyptotrox'' have been reelevated as their own separate genera, while various ''Trox'' species have been merged or otherwise combined. After taxonomic revisions, the genus ''Trox'' contains three subgenera - '' Trox (Trox)'', '' Trox (Niditrox)'', and '' Trox (Granulitrox)'' -, with the following species: Subgenus ''Trox'' *''Trox acanthinus'' Harold, 1872 *''Trox antiquus'' Wickham, 1909 *''Trox cadaverinus'' Illiger, 1802 *'' Trox capillaris'' Say, 1824 *'' Trox contractus'' Robinson, 1940 *''Trox coracinus'' Gmelin, 1788 *'' Trox cretaceus'' Nikolajev, 2007 *'' Trox floridanus'' Howden & Vaurie, 1957 *'' Trox gansuensis'' Ren, 2003 *'' Trox gemmulatus'' Horn, 1874 *'' Trox horiguchii'' Ochi & Kawahara, 2002 *' ...
