A revision of the Maechidiini Burmeister, 1855 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) from the Indo-Australian transition zone, and the first record of the tribe west of Wallace’s Line Author Telnov, Dmitry text European Journal of Taxonomy 2020 2020-10-19 721 1 210 journal article 9693 10.5852/ejt.2020.721.1127 0cd61b23-1089-4c1b-bfc0-487887abad84 4122118 89E62EF8-2E45-4C59-94B7-6A5603E8939B Maechidius lobaticeps Frey, 1969 Maechidius lobaticeps Frey, 1969: 494 (key), 499 (original description). Type material BMNH ( holotype , 108 paratypes ), SNSD ( 1♀ paratype ), BPBM and NHMB (unspecified number of paratypes ). Distribution According to Frey (1969: 499) : most of New Guinea from Doberai Peninsula through Bird’s Neck Isthmus, North (Cyclops Mts) through Central Cordillera (Baliem Valley) towards the East (Finisterre Mts. & Papuan Peninsula), also Cenderawasih Bay Islands (Yapen). The occurrence of this species as specified by Frey (1969) is not impossible but needs further confirmation since I have not seen specimens from the Doberai Peninsula, Baliem Valley or Yapen.
