Golofa clavigera (Linnaeus, 1771) en Bolivia: Un nuevo registro para el país (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae)

Abstract

Members of the tribe Dynastini are among some of the largest and heaviest insects on Earth. In addition to being among the largest, some species, such as the Neotropical hercules beetles (Dynastes species), Neotropical elephant beetles (the larger species of Megasoma) and the Neotropical sawyer beetles (the larger Golofa species) have some of the most fantastic horns seen in the animal kingdom. Sexual dimorphism is well-developed in most species of Dynastini, and males of some species have huge and/or bizarrely-shaped horns on the head and pronotum, while the females lack horns.
