The Palaearctic species of Aphodius Hellwig, 1798, subgenus Liothorax Motschulsky, 1860 are revised using a combination of chromosome analysis, molecular phylogenetics and morphological statistical analysis. Sixteen species are recognised, one of which is shown to comprise two subspecies. Based mainly on the morphology of the aedeagal endophallus and the phylogenetic analysis, they are placed in two groups: the. group, apparently monophyletic, comprising Aphodius (Liothorax) niger Illiger, 1798, A. (L.) muscorum (Ádám, 1994), , A. (L.) felix, A. (L.) bellumgerens, A. (L.) bameuli, A. (L.) krelli, A. (L.) isikdagensis (Balthasar, 1953), A. (L.) alberti and A. (L.) wilsonae Maté et Angus, 2005, ; and the group, almost certainly paraphyletic, comprising A. (L.) plagiatus (Linnaeus, 1767), including A. (L.) p. plagiatus and A. (L.) p. sinoplagiatus, A. (L.) rodrigoi, A. (L.) discoidesA. Schmidt, 1916, , A. (L.) rutilipennis (Baudi di Selve, 1870), , A. (L.) chellala, A. (L.) kraatzi Harold, 1868, and A. (L.) rusakovi Gusakov, 2004. A key to the species is given as well as details of their morphology, distributions, and habitats.
利用染色体分析、分子系统发育学和形态统计分析相结合的方法,对1798年命名的粪金龟属(Aphodius Hellwig)、1860年命名的丽胸粪金龟亚属(Liothorax Motschulsky)的古北区物种进行了修订。确认了16个物种,其中1个物种包含2个亚种。主要基于阳茎内阳茎的形态和系统发育分析,将它们分为两组:第一组显然是单系的,包括1798年命名的黑粪金龟(Aphodius (Liothorax) niger Illiger)、1994年命名的苔原粪金龟(A. (L.) muscorum (Ádám))、费氏粪金龟(A. (L.) felix)、好战粪金龟(A. (L.) bellumgerens)、巴默利粪金龟(A. (L.) bameuli)、克雷利粪金龟(A. (L.) krelli)、1953年命名的伊希克达粪金龟(A. (L.) isikdagensis (Balthasar))、阿尔贝蒂粪金龟(A. (L.) alberti)和2005年命名的威尔逊粪金龟(A. (L.) wilsonae Maté et Angus);第二组几乎可以肯定是并系的,包括1767年命名的斜纹粪金龟(A. (L.) plagiatus (Linnaeus)),包括斜纹粪金龟指名亚种(A. (L.) p. plagiatus)和中华斜纹粪金龟(A. (L.) p. sinoplagiatus)、罗德里戈粪金龟(A. (L.) rodrigoi)、1916年命名的盘状粪金龟(A. (L.) discoides Schmidt)、1870年命名的红翅粪金龟(A. (L.) rutilipennis (Baudi di Selve))、切拉拉粪金龟(A. (L.) chellala)、1868年命名的克拉茨粪金龟(A. (L.) kraatzi Harold)和2004年命名的鲁萨科夫粪金龟(A. (L.) rusakovi Gusakov)。给出了物种检索表以及它们的形态、分布和栖息地的详细信息。
