}}Sisyphus is a genus of dung beetles comprising more than 90 species.[1] Adults are characterised by their long hind legs.[2]

Distribution

Africa, Eurasia, Asia, Central America and Australia.[1]

Habits

Adults separate balls of dung from droppings and roll them some distance over the soil surface before burying them.[2] Eggs are laid in the buried dung; this provides a source of food for the larvae once they hatch.

Species

One common species is Sisyphus schaefferi (Linnaeus, 1758).
