Status changes, new synonymies, key and descriptions of seven new species in the subgenus Scarabaeus (Scarabaeolus) Balthasar 1965 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) Author Deschodt, Christian M.

Interstriae of specimens from the farm Florida [ 28° 09’ S 21°40’E ] in the Northern Cape are strongly shagreened along the edge of the striae, giving them a dull appearance ( Fig. 12 ). In contrast, specimens from the Liuwa Plains are very smooth and relatively shiny ( Fig. 12 ). We believe that this is merely a cline as a specimen seen from Karibib [ 21°56’S 15°51’E ] ( Namibia ) shows intermediate sculpture ( Fig. 12 ). There is very little difference between aedeagi from Zambian and Northern Cape specimens.
