Rhinocerotopsis nakasei (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Aphodiinae), a New Genus and Species of Stereomerini from Peninsular Malaysia

Abstract

Rhinocerotopsis nakasei gen. et sp. nov. of the tribe Stereomerini is described based on a single specimen collected with a flight interception trap at Ulu Gombak, Negeri Selangor, Peninsular Malaysia. It is allied to Stereomera pusilla Arrow, but is easily distinguished from it by the convex body, the deep, branched sulcus and the presence of projections on the pronotum.
