A BRIEF REVISION OF THE NORTH AND CENTRAL AMERICAN SPECIES OF MEGASOMA (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Abstract
The genus Megasoma Kirby as it occurs in North and Central America is discussed, and the taxonomic history of this group in this area is reviewed. A key is presented to aid in the separation of the 10 forms currently known from these areas, as well as one species that may be taken in the future. Each species is illustrated and discussed. Three new species, Megasoma sleeperi from Southern California, Megasoma cedrosa from Central Baja California, and Megasoma lecontei from Southern Baja California, are described.
