Bolbites is a genus of Scarabaeidae or scarab beetles in the superfamily Scarabaeoidea.[1][2][3] The genus is generally considered to be monospecific, including only Bolbites onitoides Harold, 1868, a polychromatic species living in open habitats and shrublands from Bolivia and Paraguay to Argentina, southern Brazil and Uruguay.[4] Although it was suggested that B. onitoides might actually represent two distinct subspecies based on dorsal colouration,[5] a 2022 study concluded that the B. onnitoides should continue to be considered a single monotypic species.[4]
