Pardalosus is a genus of aphodiine dung beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. They are native to North America, with the greatest diversity on the western side of the continent.[1] Although most species may be detritivores that do not associate strongly with dung, some species of Pardalosus are associated with rodents: P. neodistinctus is collected in association with prairie dogs, while P. sleveni is collected in association with pack rats.[2]
