The female of Phileurus bucculentus Ohaus, 1911 is described for the first time. It is compared with the male and also with the females of Phileurus carinatus Prell, 1914, with which it can be confused. Additional data for Phileurus carinatus are provided with four new country records for Guyana, Colombia, Peru and Argentina, and its taxonomic status is reviewed.
The brachypterous Brazilian stag beetle genus Altitatiayus Weinreich (Coleoptera, Lucanidae, Lucaninae)
was previously known only from states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. Altitatiayus campoi, a new species
from São Paulo, the southernmost in distribution, is described here and apparently represents a new species group
with some exclusive characters. It is compared with other species of the genus and a key to species of Altitatiayus is
provided.
