Oxysternon conspicillatum is a species of dung beetle in the family Scarabaeidae.

It is found in both evergreen and semi-deciduous mesic forests, including disturbed habitats, ranging from near sea level to an altitude of 3,000 m (9,800 ft) in the Amazon basin and Chocó of tropical South America and Panama, possibly extending as far west as the border region with Costa Rica.

[3][2][4][5] O. conspicillatum has been studied as a potential source for antimicrobial agents, with the possible use of its host defense peptides in the development of new antibiotics.

[1][3] However, small ("minor") males are more female-like in their appearance, with the smallest essentially lacking a horn and pronotum spikes.

[1][3] Blue individuals were initially described as a separate species, O. oberthuri, and are sometimes still recognized as a distinct species or a subspecies of O. conspicillatum, but there are no differences except for the color, intermediates occur, and there is no geographical pattern (all colors may occur together), leading recent authorities to typically consider them as color phases of a single monotypic species.
