“…This has enabled us to determine if populations differ in the relative abundance of large and small individuals and whether there is any evidence of bimodality in size, both of which might be suggestive of a possible subspecies. Following the recent taxonomical and faunistic overviews of European beetle fauna (Bartolozzi & Sprecher‐Uebersax, 2006), there are five European taxa of the genus Lucanus: L. cervus cervus (Linnaeus, 1758) with a wide distribution in Europe, L. cervus turcicus (Sturm, 1843) found in Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Greece, L . ibericus (Motschulsky, 1845) in South‐eastern Europe (Albania, Greece, Turkey, Ukraine), L. tetraodon (Thunberg, 1806) in France, Italy, Albania, and Greece, and L. ( Pseudolucanus) barbarossa (Fabricius, 1801) in Spain and Portugal.…”

1. The European stag beetle, Lucanus cervus, is thought to be widely distributed across its range, but a detailed description of its occurrence is lacking.2. Researchers in 41 countries were contacted and information sought on various life history characteristics of the insect. Data on adult body size were collected from seven countries.3. Habitat associations differ between the United Kingdom and mainland Europe. Larvae are most commonly associated with oak, but the duration of the larval stage and the number of instars varies by up to 100% across Europe.4. Adult size also varies; beetles from Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands are larger than those from Belgium or the UK. In the former countries, populations are composed mainly of large individuals, while in the UK, the majority of individuals are relatively small. Allometric relations between mandible size and total body length differ in Germany compared with the rest of Europe.5. Distribution maps of the insect, split into records pre-and post-1970, from 24 countries are presented. While these inevitably suffer from recorder bias, they indicate that in only two countries, Croatia and Slovakia, does the insect seem to be increasing in range.6. Our data suggest that the insect may be in decline across Europe, most likely due to habitat loss, and that conservation plans need to be produced that focus on the biology of the insect in the local area.

“…Scarabaeus xiphias Fabricius, 1792 was described from “Halae Saxonum” (Halle, Germany) in the first volume of “Entomologia systematica emendata et aucta” (Fabricius 1792). Sturm (1826) transferred this name to the genus Onthophagus and placed it in synonymy with O. nuchicornis (Linnaeus, 1758) and has been treated as a synonym of this species since. Consequently, the name Onthophagus xiphias Solís and Kohlmann, 2003 has been a secondary junior homonym since the name was validated.…”

A new species, Onthophagus contrapositus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae: Onthophagini), belonging to the New World O. dicranius species group is described and illustrated. Photographs of cephalic and pronotal configurations of all known females are presented for the first time to ease identification. A replacement name is proposed, Onthophagus kohlmanninew name, for the secondary junior homonym Onthophagus xiphias Solís and Kohlmann, 2003.
