Taxonomy of Sulawesi Onthophagus lacking a basal pygidial ridge (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) J. Krikken & J. Huijbregts Fifteen endemic Sulawesi species in the dung beetle genus Onthophagus Latreille, 1802 lacking a ridge along their pygidial base are keyed, diagnosed, and illustrated. Eight new species are described in three of four operational groups here recognized: Onthophagus (ambang group) tonywhitteni, ambang; (imbutus group) toraut, sarasinorum, gonipa, tambing, sulawesiensis; (fuscostriatus group) rosenbergi. The species Onthophagus ambang and rosenbergi are each divided into two new subspecies: Onthophagus ambang ambang and ambang morowali, and Onthophagus rosenbergi rosenbergi and rosenbergi divergens. Lectotypes are designated for six available species-group names liable to misinterpretation. Onthophagus forsteni Lansberge, 1887 is considered a junior synonym of Onthophagus griseoaeneus Lansberge, 1885. J.
