Abstract
A quantitative survey of dung beetles in May 1985 at Welder Wildlife Refuge, Sinton, Texas, resulted in 15 species with the two most common species, the introduced African
Onthophagus gazella (Fab.) and the native
O. alluvius H. & C., comprising 49% of the total samples. Neither of these was recorded during a similar survey 10 years previously.
