Melanocanthon
Melanocanthon is a genus of dung beetles in the family Scarabaeidae, established by Halffter in 1958. The genus contains at least four described species distributed in the Nearctic region. Unlike many scarabaeine dung beetles, at least one species (M. nigricornis) has been documented utilizing fungus and carrion rather than dung as primary food resources.
