The first dung beetle retrieved from Coprinisphaeridae ichnofossils: Phanaeus violetaen. sp. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) from Ecuadorian cangahua balls
A previously unknown species of dung beetle is described, related to a Coprinisphaeridae ichnofossils. Its discovery demonstrates that such structures really are fossil nests of Scarabaeinae beetles. The taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships of the new species are discussed, as well as some hypot...

| description | A previously unknown species of dung beetle is described, related to a Coprinisphaeridae ichnofossils. Its discovery demonstrates that such structures really are fossil nests of Scarabaeinae beetles. The taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships of the new species are discussed, as well as some hypotheses about the biogeographical history of the Phanaeus chalcomelas species group to which the fossil species is assigned. A preliminary version of both the group’s track and Steiner’s areal tree is represented and compared to the phylogenetic and biographic hypotheses of recent literature. |

Its discovery demonstrates that such structures really are fossil nests of Scarabaeinae beetles. The taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships of the new species are discussed, as well as some hypotheses about the biogeographical history of the Phanaeus chalcomelas species group to which the fossil species is assigned. A preliminary version of both the group’s track and Steiner’s areal tree is represented and compared to the phylogenetic and biographic hypotheses of recent literature. Se describe, como especie inédita, el primer hallazgo de un escarabajo asociado con un ichnofósil de la familia Coprinisphaeridae. Este descubrimiento comprueba la naturaleza de nidos fósiles de Scarabaeinae de tales estructuras. Se discute la posición taxonómica de la nueva especie y sus posibles relaciones filogenéticas, así como algunas hipótesis sobre la historia biogeográfica del grupo Phanaeus chalcomelas, al que se reconduce la especie fósil. Se presentan el trazo y el árbol de Steiner de las distribuciones del grupo, ambos preliminares, comparándolos con las hipótesis filogenéticas y biogeográficas de la literatura reciente.
