Abstract.
The 61 species and two subspecies of dynastine scarab beetles that occur in the United States of America (including Guam) and Canada are comprehensively reviewed. Detailed discussions of historical collecting, climate, vegetation, and habitats (with color images) are presented. Keys to all tribes, genera, and species in the study area are given. Descriptions, recorded geographic localities and temporal distributions, diagnoses, notes on natural history, color illustrations, and distribution maps are provided for all species. Also included are synopses of the higher-level taxa of the subfamily in the region, a glossary, and a species checklist.
Cyclocephala knobelae Brown is a new junior synonym of Cyclocephala robusta LeConte (Cyclocephalini). Euetheola rugiceps (LeConte) (Pentodontini) is elevated to species from a subspecies (new revised status). Dyscinetus laevicollis Arrow (Cyclocephalini) is a new country record reported for the first time from the USA.
