Phyllophaga tusa (Horn), male
ID'd from specimen, now a photo-voucher. Thanks Iustin, a new one for the guide!!!

Despite keying rather straightforwardly (at least for a Phyllophaga) to this species in both Luginbill & Painter (1) and Reinhard (2), the illustration of the genitalia in the former reference doesn't really look quite right. Fortunately, the type is imaged on MCZ, which shows conclusively the shape of the genitalia.
