“…Phyllophaga reyesolivasi is member of the "cavata" species group (sensu Morón 1986Morón , 2004) and externally appears similar to P. cavata (Bates), but in the latter the posterior border of 5th sternite is entire and the parameres are longer and less angulate apically (lateral view see Morón 2004: Fig. 7) giving a more gradually curved appearance.…”

Five new species of Phyllophaga of northwestern Mexico are described: P. (Listrochelus) balacachiana sp. nov. from tropical thorny forests of northern Sinaloa and southern Sonora; P. (Listrochelus) tascatensis sp. nov. from pine and oak forests of northern Sinaloa and southwestern Chihuahua; P. (Listrochelus) choixiana sp. nov. from tropical deciduous forest of northern Sinaloa; P. (Listrochelus) reyesolivasi sp. nov. from pine and oak forest of southwestern Chihuahua; and P. (Phyllophaga) collaroides sp. nov. from pine and oak forests of northern Sinaloa and southwestern Chihuahua. Illustrations of diagnostic characters and comments on the differences from similar species are included.

En México, los coleópteros Scarabaeoidea se conocen comúnmente como “escarabajos de mayo”, “escarabajos de junio” o “escarabajos sanjuaneros” y en el estado de Aguascalientes, México, es bajo su grado de conocimiento debido a la falta de especialistas en el grupo en esa entidad y a la falta de interés por parte de especialistas de otras instituciones fuera de Aguascalientes. Por lo anterior, esta contribución tiene como finalidad actualizar la riqueza específica de Scarabaeoidea y compararla entre municipios, tipos de vegetación, provincias biogeográficas y áreas naturales protegidas, además de compararla con la riqueza conocida en otros estados del país. Para ello, se hizo una revisión exhaustiva de registros de escarabajos en la literatura, en dos colecciones entomológicas nacionales y mediante recolectas ocasionales en algunos sitios del estado. Se registraron 105 especies de escarabajos, de las cuales 36 son primeros registros estatales y una especie nueva de Phyllophaga que aún no se describe. Aun cuando la aportación es relevante en el número de especies, es posible que falte registrar algunas especies en la entidad debido a la carencia de muestreos sistematizados, los pocos registros en selva baja caducifolia y matorral xerófilo, el reducido número de localidades con registros de escarabajos y el hecho de que el mayor número de especies se haya presentado en áreas urbanas, entre otros factores. La actual riqueza de especies del estado es alta en comparación con algunos estados de extensión territorial y condiciones climáticas similares, con excepción de Morelos, e incluso comparada con algunos estados más extensos que Aguascalientes del norte y centro del país. El 50 % de las especies se localizan en tres áreas naturales protegidas del estado, destacando la “Sierra Fría” y la Estación Biológica “Agua Zarca”, donde se promueve el estudio y la conservación de la biodiversidad.

As partial results of a long-term project for the revision of the supraspecific classification of the American Melolonthini, using phylogenetic methods, interesting information on the relationships between the subgeneric groups of Phyllophaga Harris proposed by Saylor were obtained. The genus Listrochelus was described by Blanchard in 1851. However, in 1940, Saylor reduced it as a subgenus of Phyllophaga. The objective of the present study is to confirm the monophyly of Listrochelus by means of a phylogenetic analysis. A total of 132 species were analyzed; 31 species of them belong to Listrochelus, 76 are from other groups of Phyllophaga, and 25 species are from the outgroup. A morphological matrix with 281 characters was codified. A traditional search with 1000 iterations was performed in TNT. Branch support was investigated using the bootstrap method. Parsimony analysis resulted in ten equally parsimonious trees. The topology obtained in the strict consensus tree shows that the limits of Listrochelus are very clear (bootstrap 99%), supported by five synapomorphies and a combination of eight character states that are not exclusive to the group. Based on the hypothesis obtained, the restitution of the genus Listrochelus is proposed.
