The genus Peltonotus Burmeister (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) includes 19 species that are distributed throughout Southeastern Asia. We describe ten new species of Peltonotus: P. adelphosimilis, P. deltomentum, P. fujiokai, P. gracilipodus, P. kyojinus, P. nethis, P. podocrassus, P. silvanus, P. sisyrus, and P. suehirogarus. We synonymize two names: P. morio sawaii Miyake with P. morio Burmeister and P. sakaii Miyake & Yamaya with P. similis Arrow. Lectotypes are designated for the…

A Morphological Analysis of the Subtribe Pegylina Lacroix, 1989 (Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae: Melolonthini) Reconstitutes Its Generic Composition

To maintain the Pegylina as a monophyletic subtribe, the genus Stenopegylis Arrow, 1943 is removed from the PeGYlina and placed in the Melolonthini sensu lato, pending further cladistic analyses of the Afrotropical melolonthines.

Aroid scarabs in the genus Peltonotus Burmeister (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Dynastinae): key to species and new distributional data

The southeast Asian scarab beetle genus Peltonotus Burmeister (Scarabaeidae, Dynastinae, Cyclocephalini) is reviewed, and a key to all species, paralectotype designations for Peltonos nasutus, diagnoses, and distributions using dynamic mapping tools are included.

Synopsis of the cyclocephaline scarab beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Dynastinae)

An expanded identification key to genera of world Cyclocephalini and diagnoses for each genus are provided and character illustrations and generic-level distribution maps are provided along with discussions on the relationships of the tribe’s genera.

Annotated catalog and bibliography of the cyclocephaline scarab beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Dynastinae, Cyclocephalini)

This paper discusses the history of cataloging dynastine species, clarifies issues surrounding the neotype designations in Endrődi’s revision of Cyclocephalini, synthesizes all published distribution data for cyclocephaline species, and increases accessibility to the voluminous literature on the group by providing an easily searchable bibliography for each species.
