The type-species A. virescens Westwood, 1842 is designated. Keys to species, redescriptions of taxa, descriptions of new species, illustrations and distributional data are supplied. Seven species are synonymized: A. smaragdinus (Westwood, 1842) = Onthocharis bella Waterhouse, 1891; A. chalceus (Harold, 1867) = O. westwoodii Waterhouse, 1891; A. myrmidon (Westwood, 1842) = O. constricta Waterhouse, 1891; A. germari (Harold,1867) = O. oblonga Waterhouse, 1891 = O. wittmeri Martínez, 1952; A. virescens Westwood, 1842 = O. flavicornis Harold, 1862 = O. melancholica Martínez, 1955. Lectotypes of A. batesii (Waterhouse, 1891), A. laetus (Waterhouse, 1891), A. simplex (Waterhouse, 1891) and A. parallelus (Harold, 1862) are designated. Twenty five new species are described: A. tuberculicollis (Trinidad: St. George), A. gracilis (Venezuela: Bolívar), A. genieri (Venezuela: Bolívar, Sucre, Tachira; Trinidad: St. George; Guiana: Potaro District), A. foveicollis (Peru: Madre de Dios, Loreto, Huanuco; Colômbia: Amazonas; Brasil: Amazonas, Pará), A. globosus (Brasil: Amazonas), A. octodentatus (Brasil: Minas Gerais), A. latistriatus (Bolívia: Beni), A. validus (Peru: Loreto, Huanuco), A. howdeni (Brasil: Amazonas), A. idei (Peru: Loreto), A. mourai (Brasil: Rondônia, Mato Grosso do Sul, Tocantins, Goiás), A. sulcatus (Brasil), A. palmispinus (Venezuela: Bolívar), A. sulcaticollis (Brasil: Minas Gerais), A. cambeforti (Peru: Cuzco), A. hirsutus (Venezuela: Bolívar), A. galileoae (Brasil: São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul), A. serranus (Brasil: Tocantins, Minas Gerais, São Paulo), A. -

Part I: On the species described in the genus Canthon Hoffmannsegg, 1817 by the German entomologist Adolf Schmidt (1856-1923) (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Scarabaeinae) Fernando Z. Vaz-de-Mello & Mario Cupello Vaz-de-Mello, F. Z. & Cupello, M. 2018. The type specimens of South American dung beetles. Part I: On the species described in the genus Canthon Hoffmannsegg, 1817 by the German entomologist Adolf Schmidt (1856-1923) (Coleoptera, Scara- baeidae, Scarabaeinae). Spixiana 41 (1): 33-76. The present work represents the first part of a series of papers studying the type material of the New World Scarabaeinae deposited in all major museums of the world. The main goals of this series are to locate the whereabouts of those types, designate, when appropriate, lectotypes and neotypes, and illustrate those speci- mens and their labels so that it will be possible for anyone interested to identify species already described and recognize new ones. As a start to this series, we present information on and illustrate the type material of the nominal species- group taxa proposed by the German entomologist Adolf Schmidt in the genus Canthon Hoffmannsegg, 1817, in two papers published in 1920 and 1922. Deposited in five European museums (Berlin, Dresden, Müncheberg, Brussels, and Stock- holm), we were able to find the type specimens of all but one of the 51 names firstly established as new species or new varieties by Schmidt. Of these 50 names, we designate lectotypes for 38. Schmidt also proposed three nominal species in Canthon as replacement names – C. -

Taxonomic relationships Ceanothus is a diverse genus with over 50 taxa that cluster in to two subgenera. C. crassifolius has long been recognized as part of the Cerastes group of Ceanothus based on morphology, life-history, and crossing studies (McMinn 1939a, Nobs 1963). In phylogenetic analyses based on RNA and chloroplast DNA, Hardig et al. (2000) found C. crassifolius clustered into the Cerastes group and in each analysis shared a clade with C. ophiochilus. In molecular and morphological analyses, Burge et al. (2011) also found C. crassifolius clustered into Cerastes. Cerastes included over 20 taxa and numerous subtaxa in both studies. Eight Cerastes taxa occur in southern California (see I. E. Related taxa in region). E. Related taxa in region In southern California, the related Cerastes taxa include: C. -

Previous papers have mostly described Titanus morphology or taxonomy, but studies concerning its anatomy and physiology are largely absent. Thus, we employed microscopic, physiological, and analytical methods to partially fill this gap. Our study focused on a detailed analysis of the antennal sensilla, where coeloconic sensilla, grouped into irregularly oval fields, and sensilla trichoidea were found. Further, the inspection of the internal organs showed apparent degeneration of the gut and almost total absence of fat body. The gut was already empty; however, certain activity of digestive enzymes was recorded.
