Distribution records of Heliocopris bucephalus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae), a national category II protected species, in Sichuan Province, China

摘要: 悍马巨蜣螂Heliocopris bucephalus (F.)是一种分布于东洋界的大型粪食性甲虫。该种于2021年被列为国家二级保护动物，但国内关于其研究和报道均很少，且在四川省的分布记录不甚明确。近两年，在干旱河谷开展昆虫调查时，确认了该种在四川攀枝花的分布。提供了该种的识别特征和虫体照片，并对其在我国的地理分布作了简要探讨。凭证标本保存于绵阳师范学院无脊椎动物标本室。

Abstract: Heliocopris bucephalus (F.) is a large-sized dung beetle distributed in the Oriental Region. This species was listed as a national category II protected animal in China since 2021, but investigations and reports on this beetle are quite scarce in China, and the distribution record in Sichuan Province is unclear. During the surveys of insects in arid valleys in the recent two years, the distribution of this species in Panzhihua, Sichuan Province was confirmed. The identification characteristics and photos of this species were provided, and its geographical distribution in China was briefly discussed. The voucher specimens were kept in the Invertebrate Collection of Mianyang Teacher's College.
