Apdo. Postal 63, Xalapa, Veracruz 91000, México [email protected] 2 Departamento de Investigación en Ciencias Agrícolas, Instituto de Ciencias, Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, 14 Sur 6303 San Manuel, Puebla 72570 México [email protected] Abstract Two new Mexican species, Orizabus vulcanicus sp. nov. from Iztaccihuatl volcano (Puebla) and Orizabus dechambrei sp. nov. from the Omilteme mountains (Guerrero), are described. Drawings of the diagnostic structures of the new species and a key to the 14 species now included in the genus are provided. Key words: Coleoptera: Dynastinae, Pentodontini, Orizabus, taxonomy, key, Mexico Introduction Twelve species of the genus Orizabus Fairmaire are known from the southern United States, Mexico, Guatemala, and Nicaragua, but all the species occur in Mexico (Endrödi 1969, 1985; Morón 1981; Delgado-Castillo and Deloya 1990; Dechambre 1993; Ratcliffe 1994). Curatorial work of the specimens deposited in Mexican collections, as well as recent collection trips in the mountains of the state of Puebla provided specimens of two undescribed species of this genus. Drawings were made with the aid of a camera lucida and stereomicroscope, and mea- surements were obtained using an ocular micrometer or caliper. Holotypes and allotypes are deposited in the collection M. A. Morón / Instituto de Ecología, Xalapa (MXAL/ IEXA). Paratypes are deposited in the same collection, the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris (MNHN), and the University of Nebraska State Museum (UNSM).

SCARAB BEETLES IN HUMAN CULTURE BRETT C. RATCLIFFE Systematics Research Collections W-436 Nebraska Hall University of Nebraska Lincoln, NE 68588-0514, U.S.A. [email protected] Abstract The use of scarab beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) by primarily pre- and non-industrial peoples throughout the world is reviewed. These uses consist of (1) religion and folklore, (2) folk medicine, (3) food, and (4) regalia and body ornamentation. The use of scarabs in religion or cosmology, once widespread in ancient Egypt, exists only rarely today in other cultures. Scarabs have a minor role in folk medicine today although they may have been more important in the past. The predominant utilization of these beetles today, and probably in the past as well, is as food with emphasis on the larval stage. Lastly, particularly large or brightly colored scarabs (or their parts) are used (mostly in the New World) to adorn the body or as regalia.
