28, see text Oniticellini are a tribe of scarab beetles, in the true dung beetle subfamily (Scarabaeinae).

[2] Nearly all species of this tribe feed on and nest in dung, mainly that of large herbivores.

Most are tunnelers; dung is buried at the ends of tunnels dug below a dropping, and used as food by both adults and larvae; others, known as dwellers (including Oniticellus and Tragiscus) make brood cavities within or just beneath the dung.

[2] The Oniticellini have been divided into three subtribes: Drepanocerina, Helictopleurina and Oniticellina, but this arrangement is still under review.
