Scarabausb appears to have been originally the name used by the Romans to designate the Coleoptera in general, as KuvQugos might have done among the Greeks. It may also be understood as having embraced some Orthoptera, such as the genera Acheta and Gryllotalpa..

The name Scarabeeus has in truth had so many different applications given to it, that it would seem above all others to be that which for ever ought to remain undisturbed. Linnaeus, Scopoli, and their immediate followers may nevertheless be considered as the only persons who properly applied it; and Geoffroy, in giving the name of Copr...
