Onthophagus (Onthophagus) incensus Say, 1835

Onthophagus incensus Say, 1835: 173 (original description. Type locality: Mexico).

Remarks.

This species was recorded for Ecuador by the following authors: Boucomont (1932: 308, 324), distribution, described as O. curvicornis var. incensus Say; Vulcano and Pereira (1967: 565), characters in key, cited as O. c. incensus Say, 1837; Howden and Young (1981: 98) characters in key, cited as Onthophagus incensus Say; Kohlmann and Solís (2001: 210) cited as Onthophagus incensus Say; Pulido-Herrera and Zunino (2007: 106) cited as Onthophagus curvicornis Latreille var. incensus; Carvajal et al. (2011: 322-323), list of species; Chamorro et al. (2018: 97) quoting Pulido-Herrera and Zunino (2007).

It is possible that Boucomont (1932) described a completely different species given that O. incensus Say, 1835 (currently within the hircus group and curvicornis complex) is only found in Central America (Howden and Cartwright 1963, Rossini et al 2018b). According to our data, there are no other records of this species in the collections listed.
