This species belongs to the Dichotomius geminatus (Arrow, 1913) species group and is related to Dichotomius vidaurrei Nunes and Vaz-de-Mello, 2013. Dichotomius abayoyensis differs from D. vidaurrei in having a longer cephalic process, pronotum with anterior excavation, pygidium with distinct punctures on the entire surface, parameres with a pronounced constriction on their distal lateral margins, subgenital plate present with sclerites without projection, and hind wing reduced with a row of dense setae on the superior margin. This species is known only from the “Chaparral de Abayoy” vegetation, located in Roboré (Chiquitos Province, Bolivia).
