   Three dung beetle species of the subfamily Coprinae are recorded so far from the dairy farms of Rajasthan and West Bengal, India. Descriptions of the recorded species, viz. Caccobius (Caccophilus) unicornis (Fabricius), Oniticellus (s.str.) cinctus (Fabricius) and Tiniocellus spinipes (Roth) with suitable illustrations (digital images) and their distributions are provided. The first and second named species are supposed to be new from Rajasthan.
