Introduction
Aegopsis Burmeister is a Neotropical genus distributed from Central America to Southern Brazil. Since the first description of the genus by Burmeister (1847), several species have been described. Sobral et al. (2018) recently described two new species, A. dieratops Sobral & Grossi, and A. vazdemelloi Sobral & Grossi, which followed A. chaminadei Dechambre. The second described species of the genus, A. bolboceridus (Thomson), has long been regarded as Agaocephala Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville until Dechambre and Grossi (1990) revised its generic placement. Currently, the genus Aegopsis comprises six valid species.
