Nicrophorus vespilloides is a burying beetle

Taxonomy

N. vespilloides was first formally described by the German entomologist and naturalist Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Herbst. In 1783 Herbst's description was published in his Kritisches Verzeichniss meiner Insectensammlung, part of the fourth heft of Zurich bookseller Johann Caspar Fuessly's Archiv der Insectengeschichte.^[1]^[2]

In 2016 researchers published a review of the unity of the N. vespilloides taxon, motivated by the reported ecological differences between Nearctic and Palearctic populations. Most scientific work on N. vespilloides had been in the Palearctic, and here the beetle was found to be relatively common in forests and grassland; this contrasted strongly with the Nearctic where the beetle called N. vespilloides was rarely caught and restricted to bogs/marshes^[3]. All publically available genetic data from the DNA barcode region of the COI gene

Distribution

Alongside N. defodiens, N.vespilloides is one of only two of the 72 Nicrophorus species to have a Holarctic distribution, the others being confined to either the New or Old World. ^[4] Most N. vespilloides records are north of the 40th parallel north, making it a relatively high-latitude species.^[3] Using DNA sequences from the
