Species Bolboleaus trifoveicollis (Lea, 1916)

Bolboceras trifoveicolle Lea, A.M. 1916. Notes on some miscellaneous Coleoptera with descriptions of new species. Part II. Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia 40: 272-436 [Date published Dec. 23, 1916] [282].
Type data:
Holotype SAMA I3700 ♂, Fortescue River, WA.
Paratype(s) NMV; SAMA 3 specimens (one with registration no. 17916); WAM
Comment: the number of specimens in the syntypical series is uncertain; the 4 specimens seen (by G.C.) are labelled as paratypes; this is in contention with Howden, H.F. 1985. A revision of the Australian beetle genera Bolboleaus Howden & Cooper, Blackbolbus Howden & Cooper, and Bolborhachium Boucomont (Scarabaeidae: Geotrupinae). Aust. J. Zool. Suppl. Ser. 111: 1–179 (12).
