Megasoma joergenseni ssp. penyai Nagai, 2003: 38-39.

Remarks.

The subspecies penyai is restricted to an area in central-western Paraguay (holotype from Loma Plata, Chaco). The main characters differentiating it from the subspecies joergenseni are found in the smaller median thoracic horn and in the denser pubescence, giving a more brownish color. It is also usually smaller than ssp. joergenseni . (Fig. 27 View Figure 27 , courtesy of Mushi-sha).
