Diamesus osculans, is a species of carrion beetle found in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Philippines, Laos,[1] China, Australia.[2][3][4][5]
Description
[edit]It is the largest species carrion beetle in the subfamily Silphinae which is commonly found on decaying corpse with forensic value. Adults can be easily attracted by light trap and animal remains.[6]
Genetics
[edit]In 2020, the complete mitochondrial genome of the species was assembled. It comprised with 19,398 base pairs in length with a total of 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA, and 13 protein-coding genes (PCG).[6]
