A southern distribution for the introduced dung beetle Aphodius (Otophorus) haemorrhoidalis (L., 1758)

Aphodius haemorrhoidalis is reported from cattle dung in pasturelands in the state of Durango, Mexico, based on collections made in late September 1993. It co-occurred with the introduced dung beetles Digitonthophagus gazella [Onthophagus gazella], Euoniticellus intermedius [Oniticellus intermedius] and Aphodius lividus, the probable introduced species A. nigrita, and the native Canthon (Boreocanthon) puncticollis.
