Abstract

In the original language

First country records of Heliocopris antenor (Olivier, 1789) from Chad and Mali are presented. These data also represent the first reliable reports of the occurence of the genus Heliocopris Hope, 1837 in Chad and Mali. The occurrence of Heliocopris dilloni Guérin-Méneville, 1847 was recently mentioned from Chad by Godeau et al. (2022), unfortunaly without further data. Currently, H. antenor is known from most countries of Western, Central, and Eastern Africa.
