Abstract

DELLACASA, Marco; GORDON D., Robert  and  DELLACASA, Giovanni. Neotrichonotulus, a new genus for three Mexican Aphodiini (Scarabaeoidea, Aphodiidae). Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2004, vol.20, n.2, pp.1-7. ISSN 2448-8445.

Aphodius inurbanus Gordon & Howden, A. perotensis Deloya & Lobo, and A. urangai Islas are redescribed and illustrated. The new genus Neotrichonotulus is proposed for the three Mexican taxa. The genus is easily distinguishable from Trichonotulus by having the pronotum not bordered at base and the head glabrous.

Keywords : Neotrichonotulus; new genus; Neotrichonotulus inurbanus; Neotrichonotulus perotensis; Neotrichonotulus urangai; new combinations; Mexico.
