Guides
Archophileurus
Archophileurus is a genus of rhinoceros beetles (Dynastinae) established by Kolbe in 1910. It comprises at least 30 described species distributed in the Neotropical region. Members of this genus belong to the tribe Phileurini, a group characterized by distinctive morphological adaptations. The genus has been documented through over 600 observation records, indicating moderate research attention.
Archophileurus cribrosus
Archophileurus cribrosus is a species of rhinoceros beetle in the family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Dynastinae. It is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The species belongs to the tribe Phileurini, a group characterized by distinctive morphological features. It has been documented across multiple states and Mexican states, primarily in arid and semi-arid regions.
Hemiphileurus
Hemiphileurus is a genus of rhinoceros beetles (Dynastinae) in the family Scarabaeidae, established by Kolbe in 1910. The genus comprises at least 60 described species distributed across the Neotropical region. Members are characterized by the typical dynastine morphology including horns or tubercles, though often less dramatically developed than in some related genera. The genus is part of the tribe Phileurini, which includes other horned scarabs with primarily tropical distributions.
Phileurus valgus
Phileurus valgus is a small dynastine scarab beetle in the tribe Phileurini, distributed from the southern United States through Central America and into South America. Adults are attracted to lights and have been found under bark of decaying wood. Larvae develop in rotting wood cavities. The species is sometimes mistaken for bess beetles (Passalidae) due to its flattened, parallel-sided body form.
