Mendidius aculeatus
Mendidius aculeatus is a species of dung beetle in the family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Aphodiinae. It was described by Robinson in 1940. The species is known from scattered records in the southwestern United States (California, Nevada, Utah) and northern Mexico (Chihuahua). Like other members of the genus Mendidius, it is presumed to be associated with dung and decaying organic matter, though specific biological details remain poorly documented.
