ABSTRACT
A list of 544 species/subspecies of Scarabaeoidea recorded from Texas is presented. Each species on the list is annotated with within-state distributional data by recording its presence in each of seven regions of Texas, or by providing the source for less precise Texas records.
Twelve species on the list are represented by dubious Texas records and are recommended for removal from future tabulations of Texas Coleoptera.
Forty-eight species are documented from Texas for the first time.
Aphodius giuliani Gordon,
Diplotaxis simplex Blanchard and
Phanaeus adonis Harold are recorded from America north of Mexico for the first time.
