Dynastes moroni

provided by wikipedia EN

Dynastes moroni is a large scarab beetle endemic to the Sierra de los Tuxtlas region in Mexico.[1]

Taxonomy

This beetle species was originally described as a subspecies, Dynastes hyllus moroni,[1] but subsequent genetic analyses clearly indicate that it is unrelated to Dynastes hyllus; D. hyllus is sister to Dynastes grantii, while D. moroni is sister to Dynastes maya.[2]
