Diamesus osculans, is a species of carrion beetle found in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Philippines, Laos,[1] China, Australia.[2][3][4][5]

Description

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

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]
