A new species of Haplophileurus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae: Phileurini) from Colombia, with a key to the species of the genus

Abstract

A new species, Haplophileurus germanamati, from the western slope of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia, is described and illustrated. The new species is diagnosed by the presence of six to nine small punctures at the base of the first broad elytral interval, the glabrous pygidium, and the elongated paramers. A taxonomic key to the species of Haplophileurus is provided in both English and Spanish.
