Hello
I have to work in the identification of some Dynastidae specimens I have, but I usually struggle when try to identify Dynastidae because I don't know any good online resource for them, and I lack of any kind of book or bibliography about this subfamily. Is there any good online resource page or blog where I can do my research? This time I want to identify west Africa specimens, but a resource covering all the species will be useful for me in the future. Thanks.
Regards

i know none online  just the book The Dynastinae of the World (Series Entomologica) (Hardback) By S. Endrödi be careful, recent copy sold are of very poor quality no more like a bad photocopy (just set like a book) ... price completely unjustified (not only because of poor copy quality but also as being a reprint) sound like a scam !  |

Hello
Thanks, I knew that book, but the price is a bit high for me, besides my needs in identification of tropical dynastinae, are not that high. But thanks for the information. There is a bunch of coleoptera specific family books that I want, but they are always prohibitive.
Thanks for the link too, it could be useful!
Regards

Hello
Thanks for your willingness to identify. Of course I will post photos in some weeks, if I'm not able of doing it by myself. I have a small dynastidae from Togo wich has me intrigued, it's like an Augosma centaurus, but it measures over 2cm.
Regards
