An annotated checklist of the New World pentodontine scarab beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae: Pentodontini) 

Abstract

An updated and annotated checklist of the Pentodontini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) of the New World is presented. The tribe is composed of 32 genera and 151 species, including the introduced species Heteronychus arator (Fabricius).

A catalogue of the Coleoptera of the Dutch Antilles

“…It might prove to be a member of the family Ciidae of which several species have been first described in the genus Dermestes. Leng & Mutchler (1914), Blackwelder (1944a, Paulian (1947), Cartwright & Chalumeau (1978) and Peck (2011Peck ( , 2016 but not by Chalumeau & Gruner (1977), Endrödi (1969Endrödi ( , 1985, Ratcliffe (2003), Ratcliffe & Cave (2006 nor López-García et al (2016) (Sicard, 1929): 517/ Procula ferruginea (Olivier, 1808b) As such, the name is a nomen nudum (see also Bousquet et al 2018). It is striking that Marcuzzi (2001) specifically mentioned the fact that "this is the first discovery of a Helops in the Antilles, since the presence of a Helops at Puerto Rico (Wolcott 1936) is doubtful"…"it was never collected again and never identified" (see also Wolcott 1951).…”

Descripción de la pupa y redescripción del tercer estadio larval de Ligyrus ruginasus LeConte, 1856 (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae: Dynastinae)

“…La tribu Pentodontini incluye, 32 géneros y 151 especies que se encuentran desde el sur de Canadá hasta Argentina y 4 géneros, 9 especies en las Indias Occidentales (Ratcliffe y Cave, 2015;López-García et al, 2016). De estas especies, sólo las larvas de 16 especies pertenecientes a ocho géneros han sido descritas (Morón, 2017).…”

A new species of the genus Pucaya from Peru (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae)

“…Recently, Paucar-Cabrera and Moore (2018) transferred Pucaya from Pentodontini into Cyclocephalini based on morphological and molecular data, providing a new review with distributional data for Ecuador. According to most recent checklists and reviews, this genus has not been previously recorded in Peru (Ratcliffe et al, 2015;López-García et al, 2016;Paucar-Cabrera & Moore, 2018).…”
