Remarks. Luederwaldt (1929) placed this species in Cephagonus in a key to the species of the subgenus. Examination of lectotype suggests this species should be placed in the subgenus selenocopris sensu novoı more specifically in the D. ( s.) agenor species group. Morphological evidence for this new combination is as follows: anterior clypeal margin weakly emarginatedı producing short clypeal teeth; cephalic process produced in a transverse carina with a central horn on it; genae border expanded posteriorly to clypeo-genal suture ( Figure 3 View Figure 3 (a)). These three characteristics are diagnostic for the D. ( s.) agenor species groupı which is currently under taxonomic revision.
