    Key to species groups of Coprophanaeus s. str. 1. Circumnotal ridge continuous, not interrupted behind eyes (Fig. 7). Posterior margin of paraocular area straight, ending at middle of eye. Prosternal ridge with acute tubercle at anterior end (Fig. 112). Parameres lacking distinct apical teeth, at most with slightly swollen tips (e.g. Fig. 123). South America....................................................................................... jasius species group — Circumnotal ridge (Fig. 8) effaced behind each eye. Posterior margin of paraocular area curved, ending at posterior angle of eye. Prosternal ridge simple, not tuberculate anteriorly. Parameres with apical teeth (may be reduced) (e.g. Fig. 169-170, 217). Distribution variable................. 2 2(1). Apical processes of parameres (Fig. 169-170) projecting laterally, not visible from side, tip of paramere not appearing at all hooked in profile (although hook-like processes often visible from above); parameres elongate, usually lacking prominent basal angle. Male and female with trituberculate cephalic carina. Mesoamerican (Fig. 172)...................... pluto species group — Apical processes of parameres (Fig. 217) elevated dorsally, tip (viewed from side) appearing acutely hooked, usually projecting above dorsal surface; parameres (viewed from side) strongly triangular, base extending well below lower margin of phallobase as heel-like protuberance.

Cephalic horn of large male more-or-less laminate, strongly raised, with apical tubercles or processes, never a trituberculate carina or raised ridge (e.g. Fig. 213, 218, 220, 227). Male head horn (and female carina) set close to eyes so that length of frons along midline usually no more than length of clypeus, often only one-half or less (cf. Fig. 171).

    <i>Phanaeus texensis</i> Edmonds <p>Fig. 70–73</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> Black, often with blue-violet highlights; upper surface dull. Length 12–22 mm. Male (Fig. 70–72) – Head of large individuals bearing long horn curved posteriorly over the pronotum; pronotum roughened by irregular granular sculpturing, strongly flattened, with salient, laterally curved posterior angles; in smaller males head horn shorter and triangular area of pronotum reduced in size and prominence. Female (Fig. 73) – Head with anteriorly bowed ridge between and in front of eyes; pronotum granulate, convex, with transverse, weakly bowed ridge near anterior margin. Elytral interstriae flat, densely roughened. Edmonds (1994) provides a formal description of this species (as <i>P. triangularis texensis</i>; raised to species status in Edmonds and Zidek 2012).</p> <p> <b>Big Bend collection sites</b> (altitudinal range: 1325–1850 m).</p> <p> Jeff Davis Co: <b>[1]</b> Davis Mountains Preserve, 31°41′40″N 104°07′30″W, 1850 m (Jul–Aug); <b>[2]</b> Davis Mountains Preserve (Madera Canyon Unit), 1845 m (Sep); <b>[3]</b> 16 km S Fort Davis (along TX 17), 30°27′48″N 103°58′59″W, 1600 m (Aug); <b>[4]</b> 8 km 8 km SE Fort Davis (via TX 118), Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute (Quarry Unit), 30°32′06″N 103°50′37″W, 1480 m (Sep); <b>[5]</b> ~ 16 km NE Valentine, Muerto Springs Ranch (Muerto Springs), 30°40′50″N 104°20′22″W, 1555 m (Jul).</p> <p> Presidio Co.: <b>[1]</b> 37 km SSW Marfa (along FM 2810, Petan Ranch – Cherry Hills sector), 30°07′35″N 104°19′24″W, 1630 m (Jun); <b>[2]</b> 20–26 km SSE Marfa (along FM 169), 1355–1415 m (Jun); <b>[3]</b> 27 km SSE Marfa (along FM 169), 30°08′42″N 104°02′13″W, 1325 m (Jul); <b>[4]</b> ~ 16 km W Valentine (Miller Ranch, near headquarters), 30°33°30″N 104°38′44″W, 1350 m (Jul–Aug); <b>[5]</b> Miller Ranch (~ 16 km W Valentine), 30°32′50″N 104°39′40″W (Camp Holland) 1410 m (Aug); <b>[6]</b> 3 km NE Marfa (along FM 1112), Marfa Golf Course, 30°19′40″N 103°59′41″W, 1470 m (Jul, Sep).</p> <p> <b>Collection method(s).</b> a) baited pitfall trap (human feces); b) direct capture (cowdung; pronghorn dung; horse dung; *deer carcass).</p> <p> <b>Surface activity.</b> Diurnal.</p> <p> <b>Habitat.</b> Montane woodlands and grasslands throughout the Big Bend area.</p> <p> <b>Comments.</b> <i>Phanaeus texensis</i> is not common in the Big Bend, but it is widespread there. It is a burrowing species that searches for food (usually dung) on the surface that, once located, is buried by bits in tunnels underneath or to the side of its find. Often the only sign that it is present is a small mound of soil pushed to the surface during excavation of the tunnel. Because it passes most of its adult life underground, this species is, in spite of its size and conspicuousness, largely unknown to ranchers, hunters and others who frequent pasturelands in the area. While it prefers montane habitats, it can be found in other grassland and scrub habitats as well, but usually above 1380 m. Big Bend specimens of this species are always darkly colored, but scarce individuals can occasionally assume metallic green/coppery coloration in eastern parts of the state. In 1994, I considered <i>P. texensis</i> (as <i>P. triangularis texensis</i>) essentially absent from the Big Bend, an error corrected here. A peripheral record in Pecos Co. about 32 km northwest of Marathon on U.S. Hwy 385 (Brewster Co.), reports <i>P. texensis</i> from a deer carcass.</p> <p> While <i>P. texensis</i> occurs throughout much of the western two-thirds of the state, including the Big Bend, another species occurs at the periphery of the Trans-Pecos and could be regarded as an incipient (or perhaps previous) member of the Big Bend fauna. This second <i>Phanaeus</i> is <i>P. difformis</i> LeConte (Fig. 74–75), which is broadly distributed in the south-central United States and has penetrated western areas into the northern limit of the Trans-Pecos via river drainage systems into southeastern New Mexico and eastern Colorado (Edmonds 1994). A few isolated specimens have been collected in the Hueco Mountains east of El Paso (Schoenly 1983) as well as in Guadalupe Mountains National Park and near Malaga, New Mexico (personal records). Another common <i>Phanaeus</i>, <i>P. vindex</i> MacLeay, occurs widely in the Texas plains, New Mexico and Arizona; I agree with Bill Warner (pers. comm.) that its apparent absence from the Trans-Pecos is surprising.</p>Published as part of <i>Edmonds, W.
