Aphodiites is a fossil beetle from the Lias (Lower Jurassic) of Schambelen, (Aargau, Switzerland),^[1] and the oldest fossil in the superfamily Scarabaeoidea.^[2] Its affinities are not clear; it was originally placed in the Aphodiinae (Scarabaeidae), but its diagnostic characters are shared by beetles such as Glaresis (Glaresidae).^[2]
