Aegus is a genus of stag beetles in the family Lucanidae. Comprising about 260 species in the genus, they are placed in the largest subfamily Lucaninae.[1][2] They are distributed in South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific countries, but introduced accidentally to many parts of the islands.[3][4]
Primarily saproxylic, adult beetles and grubs are commonly found in decaying wood and stumps with abundant fungal growth.[5]
Species
The species show dramatic external intraspecific variation resulting from sexual dimorphism and male polymorphism.[6]
