摘要
Onthophagus mabuensis Daniel, Strumpher & Josso, new species, is diagnosed, described and illustrated from Mount Mabu, which is situated in north-central Mozambique. Morphological comparison is made between this new forest species and similar species from Malawi and Zambia in group 3 of Onthophagus Latreille, 1802, as classified by d'Orbigny (1913). In addition, we provide a checklist of all known group 3 species.
