A New Species of the Genus Triodontus (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Orphninae) from Southern Madagascar

摘要

A new scarab beetle species of the endemic Madagascan genus Triodontus Westwood, T. hanskii sp. n., is described from a specimen collected in Southern Madagascar. The new species differs from similar Triodontus species with two medial pronotal tubercles and simple last abdominal stemite in a distinctive shape of the pa-rameres. The type specimen of the new species originates from the southernmost remnant of indigenous rain forest of the island.
