Publication at Faculty of Science |

Abstract

We present an annotated catalogue for the tribe Incini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) including references to all taxonomic and nomenclatural acts, clarifying the spelling of names, providing type depositories and occurrence records for the species. The spelling of Golinca davisii (Waterhouse, 1877) is fixed, and the incorrect subsequent spelling Pantodinus klugi Burmeister, 1847 is preserved.

A comprehensive list of all valid names in Incini is provided. Furthermore, we describe the third species in the genus Archedinus Moron & Krikken, 1990, and first one known from outside of Mexico, A. antoshkai Seidel & Arriaga-Varela sp. nov. from Cerro las Minas, the highest mountain in Honduras.

We provide an updated determination key for the species of Archedinus. The new species is compared with Archedinus howdeni Moron & Vaz-de-Mello, 2007, the most similar species in terms of genital and habitus morphology.

An updated key to identification of males of Archedinus is provided.
