Taxonomy
[edit]Grossi & Bartolozzi described the Peruvian stag beetle genus Arnaudius in 2011, proposing new combinations for three species that were previously classified within Sclerostomus and Metadorcinus. These species share similarities in the combination of morphological characters, with the shape of the male genital capsule being the most important character diagnosing the genus.[3]
