Moronius miguelangeli new genus and new species of Areodina from western Brazil (Melolonthidae, Rutelinae, Rutelini)

[摘要] A new genus and species of Rutelinae are described based on several specimens collected in Mato Grosso state, Brazil near the border of Chapada dos Guimarães. The new genus belongs to the subtribe Areodina and can be readily distinguished from other genera of the subtribe mainly by characters of head and clypeus. An updated key for the genera of Areodina is also provided. The subtribe Areodina now includes 11 genera distributed in the Western Hemisphere and Africa.
