Phileurus valgus antillarum Prell, 1912

Phileurus valgus (Fig. 23) is an abundant

scarab that occurs from southern United States to

Argentina and the West Indies ( Endrödi 1985;

Ratcliffe and Cave 2006). The West Indian popula-

tion, P. valgus antillarum , is a valid subspecies

because it is isolated from the nominate subspe-

cies on the mainland. Specimens were seen from

BMNH, FSCA, RHTC.
