Prior to 2001, the name Aphodinus was largely ignored, although it was used by Schmidt in three of his publications (1913, 1914, 1922) for a subgenus of Aphodius Illiger, 1798. In 2001, Dellacasa, Bordat &amp; Dellacasa placed Ataenius in synonymy with Aphodinus. Ataenius is a genus with a nearly world-wide distribution and approximately 300 described species. Replacement of the name Ataenius by Aphodinus would seriously affect the stability of the group.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Case</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">39</style></section></record></records></xml>
