''Bolbites'' is a genus of
Scarabaeidae or scarab beetles in the superfamily
Scarabaeoidea. The genus is generally considered to be monospecific, including only ''
Bolbites onitoides'' Harold, 1868, a
polychromatic species living in open habitats and shrublands from Bolivia and Paraguay to Argentina, southern Brazil and Uruguay.
Although it was suggested that ''B. onitoides'' might actually represent two distinct subspecies based on dorsal colouration,
a 2022 study concluded that the ''B. onnitoides'' should continue to be considered a single monotypic species.
