Trogidae
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 con ...

Phoberus
''Phoberus'' is a genus of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae. It was initially a subgenus of ''Trox'' before taxonomists reorganized it into its own genus. The genus is monophyletic In cladistics for a group of organisms, monophyly is the condition of being a clade—that is, a group of taxa composed only of a common ancestor (or more precisely an ancestral population) and all of its lineal descendants. Monophyletic gro ..., with all species evolved from a single common ancestor. Most beetle species in the genus live in Africa. It contains the following species: : Phoberus aculeatus (Harold, 1872) : Phoberus arcuatus (Haaf, 1953) : Phoberus braacki (Scholtz, 1980) : Phoberus brincki (Haaf, 1958) : Phoberus bulirschi (Huchet, 2020) : Phoberus caffer (Harold, 1872) : Phoberus capensis (Scholtz, 1979) : Phoberus consimilis (Haaf, 1953) : Phoberus cyrtus (Haaf, 1953) : Phoberus disjunctus (Strümpher, 2016) : Phoberus elmariae (van der Merwe & Scholtz, 2005) : Phoberus f ...

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 ...
