About Deltochilum gibbosum (Fabricius, 1775)
Deltochilum gibbosum, commonly known as the humpback dung beetle, is a species of dung beetle that belongs to the family Scarabaeidae. It is classified under the subgenus Hybomidium Shipp, 1897, and is distributed in the southeastern United States. A variety of this taxon, D. gibbosum var. sublaeve, originally described by Henry Walter Bates in 1887, has been reclassified as the separate species D. sublaeve by González-Alvarado and Vaz-de-Mello. These same authors also treat D. gibbosum subsp. panamensis Howden, 1966 as the distinct separate species D. panamensis.
