Kral D., Rejsek J., 1999: The Liatongus species with moveable clypeal horn (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). 18 pp. (in English).
Abstract.
Currently the genus Liatongus Reitter, 1892 contains the following five species with moveable clypeal horn: L. ancorifer sp. n. (China: Yunnan prov.), L. appositicornis sp. n. (China: Gansu prov.), L. clypeocornis Scheuern, 1988 (Bhutan), L. hastatussp. n. (Nepal) and L. triacanthus (Boucomont, 1920) (Sikkim, Darjeeling; first record for China: Xizang here given). Diagnostic characters including parameres of the three newly described species are illustrated. Female of L. triacanthus is described for the first time. Table with characters separating Liatongus species with moveable clypeal horn from each other is given. Taxonomic position of the species closely related to L. triacanthus, distinctive defensive behaviour and potential necrophagy are discussed.
