Aegus is a genus of stag beetles in the family Lucanidae. Comprising about 260 species in the genus, they are placed in the largest subfamily Lucaninae.[2][3] They are distributed in South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific countries, but introduced accidentally to many parts of the islands.[4][5]
Primarily saproxylic, adult beetles and grubs are commonly found in decaying wood and stumps with abundant fungal growth.[6]
