Genus Heterogomphus Burmeister

The genus Heterogomphus contains 42 species distributed from Mexico to Argentina ( Endrödi 1976, 1985; Dechambre 1986; Ratcliffe 2003). Heterogomphus pauson (Perty) , H. chevrolati Burmeister , and now H. dilaticollis , are the only species with known immature stages ( Table 1 View TABLE 1 ). The following characters separate the larvae of Heterogomphus from other dynastine larvae: anterior and posterior frontal setae absent, antennomere 4 with 5–9 sensory spots, spiracles on segments I–VI equal in size and spiracles on segments VII and VIII slightly smaller than preceding, and palidia absent.

* Described as Strategus tridens Burmeister by Costa et al. (1988)
