The body is shiny black, and on each elytron (wing cover) are two scalloped, orange-red markings. Most distinctively, there is an orange-red marking on the pronotum , which distinguishes the species from all other North American Nicrophorus . [ 4 ]

Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal species; [ 2 ] new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting ...
The front and rear wings at rest: The front wing covers most of the hindwing, with only the joint projects in the form of a quarter circle forward with a central white spot under the forewing. On the right hand side of the forewing is opened to the right (blue arrow), which from this perspective appears narrower than it is with the rear wing ...

Gymnopleurini is a tribe of scarab beetles, in the dung beetle subfamily (Scarabaeinae), [1] but it may now be combined with the Scarabaeini. [2] The side edge of each elytron (hardened fore-wing protecting the hind-wing) has a characteristic shape that exposed the underlying pleural sclerites (side plates of the abdomen).
