Lophorrhinidesmuellerae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae): a new genus and species from southern Tanzania Author Perissinotto, Renzo Author Clennell, Lynette Author Beinhundner, Gerhard text ZooKeys 2019 833 75 84 http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.833.31502 journal article http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.833.31502 1313-2970-833-75 58964B89AF2046CD8C086216782785CE 58964B89AF2046CD8C086216782785CE Lophorrhinides gen. n. Type species Lophorrhinides muellerae gen. et sp. n. Diagnosis The new genus is most closely related to Lophorrhina Westwood, 1842. It differs from this genus mainly by its generally dense pubescence on the dorsal surface (particularly well-developed in male), the fairly globose rather than deplanate body shape, the hemicircular rather than octagonal pronotal shape, the equilateral rather than isosceles triangular shape of its scutellum, the presence of reduced clypeal armature, which is similar in both sexes, and the reduction of the central horn on head frons to a tubercle. A more comprehensive comparison between the two genera is provided in Table 1 below. Table 1. Comparison of diagnostic generic characters of Lophorrhina Westwood, 1842 versus Lophorrhinides gen. n. The list for Lophorrhina includes the key features highlighted in the original description of Westwood (1842) as well as those of the successive synonyms of Chordodera Burmeister, 1842, Daedycorrhina Bates, 1888, Aphanesthes Kolbe, 1892 and Aphanochroa Kolbe, 1893.
