DD4387AED4338B65BCFCFB4BA36EAA69.taxon	etymology	Etymology. Adjective in the nominative singular. From the Latin ovum (“ egg ”) + Manonychus in reference to the body shape and original placement of the type species. The name is masculine in gender. Composition. Ovomanonychus rosettae (Frey, 1976) new combination, Ovomanonychus inajae new species, and Ovomanonychus striatus new species. Geographical distribution. Endemic to the Midwest (Mato Grosso), Southeastern (Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo), Northeastern (Bahia), and Southern (Paraná) regions of Brazil (Fig. 3).	en	Costa, Fábio Correia, Cherman, Mariana Alejandra, Iannuzzi, Luciana (2020): Ovomanonychus, a new genus of South American Sericoidini (Coleoptera Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae).

DD4387AED4338B65BCFCFB4BA36EAA69.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Ovomanonychus new genus resembles Manonychus in the labrum hidden by the clypeus (in dorsal view), with superior margin inflated; and labium quadrate. Ovomanonychus differs from Manonychus (characters in parenthesis), in the galea with outer margin curved (Fig. 1 B) (galea with outer margin lobed; Fig. 1 C); elytra with costae (Fig. 1 A) (elytra almost smooth); tarsomeres in all legs with sparse bristles ventrally (Fig. 1 F) (protarsomeres and mesotarsomeres with pads; Fig. 1 G); metacoxae longer than ventrite II (Fig. 2 C) (metacoxae length equal to ventrite II; Fig. 2 D). We place Ovomanonychus new genus in Sericoidini based on the following combination of characters: labrum hidden by the clypeus (in dorsal view); clypeus and labrum separate by suture; ligula and labium fused; metatibial apically with two spurs, spurs set below and above the tarsal articulation; lateral keel along the abdominal ventrites; abdomen with six ventral sternites (basal sternite partially hidden by metacoxae), sternites approximately equal in length, evenly convex, separated by distinct sutures (Smith 2008).	en	Costa, Fábio Correia, Cherman, Mariana Alejandra, Iannuzzi, Luciana (2020): Ovomanonychus, a new genus of South American Sericoidini (Coleoptera Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae).
