A new Guatemalan cloud forest endemic Onthophagus Latreille, 1802 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae)

Abstract A new species, Onthophagus contrapositus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae: Onthophagini), belonging to the New World O. dicranius species group is described and illustrated. Photographs of cephalic and pronotal configurations of all known females are presented for the first time to ease identification. A replacement name is proposed, Onthophagus kohlmanni new name, for the secondary junior homonym Onthophagus xiphias Solís and Kohlmann, 2003. Résumé On décrit la nouvelle espèce Onthophagus contrapositus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae: Onthophagini) appartenant au groupe O. dicranius. Des photographies de la configuration de la tête et du pronotum de toutes les femelles de ce complexe en vue dorsale sont présentées afin de faciliter la détermination de la nouvelle espèce. Un nom de remplacement, Onthophagus kohlmanni nouveau nom de remplacement, est proposé pour l’homonyme secondaire plus récent Onthophagus xiphias Solís and Kohlmann, 2003.
