Summary:

Famous as the sacred
beetles of ancient Egypt the scarab beetle group in fact represents much
greater diversity around the globe. Scientists discover two new species of the
ancient and highly important from a conservation point of view genus Gyronotus

..............

famous as the sacred
beetles of ancient Egypt the scarab beetle group in fact represents much
greater diversity around the globe. Some of the most vulnerable representatives
are contained in the flightless genusGyronotus,
which currently includes six known species. A recent study published in the
open access journal Zookeys describes two new species with unusual
distribution from southern Africa.

The two new species G. perissinottoi and G.
schueleiboth dwell in grasslands/savannas, while most of the other known species
in the genus exhibit a preference for forest habitats. G. perissinottoi occurs
in a small but biodiversity unique area in southern KwaZulu-Natal, in the
beautiful Umthamvuna Nature Reserve. The second species, G. schuelei originates
from western Swaziland and is currently known only from two specimens.

The representatives of the genus Gyronotus as well as
several other genera of the tribe Canthonini, are regarded among the most
endangered of the African Scarabaeinae because of their sensitivity to disturbance.
Apart from G. glabrosus and the two newly described
beetles, Gyronotus species are linked to coastal and low-lying
forest habitats, which have undergone massive transformation during the past 50
years, through clearance, degradation and fragmentation.

"The genus Gyronotus is part of the tribe Canthonini,
which has long been recognised as a relict of the ancient supercontinent
Gondwanaland. Members of the genus are also wingless and particularly
vulnerable to environmental disturbance. Thus, they are undoubtedly of
substantial biodiversity and conservation value, with status ranging from
vulnerable to critically endangered,"comment the authors of the study Dr.
Moretto and Dr. Perissinotto.
