Leiopsammodius
Leiopsammodius is a genus of aphodiine dung beetles in the family Scarabaeidae, established by Rakovič in 1981. The genus contains more than 40 described species. Members of this genus belong to the tribe Psammodiini, which are often associated with sandy substrates. As with other aphodiine dung beetles, species in this genus are likely involved in the decomposition of organic matter.
Neopsammodius
Neopsammodius is a genus of aphodiine dung beetles in the family Scarabaeidae, established by Rakovič in 1986. The genus comprises nine described species distributed across the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. These beetles belong to the tribe Psammodiini, a group associated with sandy habitats. Species within this genus were originally described under other genera and later transferred to Neopsammodius.
