Abstract

Hemiphileurus ryani and H. phratrius, new species of dynastine scarabs, are described from the Dominican Republic. They are compared to their closest congeners. A new key to the nine species of Hemiphileurus Kolbe that occur in the West Indies is provided along with diagnostic illustrations of the male parameres.
