Abstract

Onthophagus jeffbecki Rossini and Génier, new species from western Ecuador is described and illustrated. The morphology of this new species clearly indicates that it belongs to the clypeatus group. We propose the separation of the clypeatus group into two subgroups, namely the clypeatus subgroup and the nasutus subgroup. Putative relationships of O. jeffbecki with members of the clypeatus subgroup are discussed, and an identification key is included. Finally, an annotated checklist of the described Onthophagus Latreille, 1802 of the clypeatus subgroup is provided.
