The taxonomy of the Bolboceras inaequale group of species is discussed. The group as here conceived comprises three species in the Indian subcontinent: Bolboceras inaequale Westwood, 1848 (reputedly also ranging into sub-Saharan Africa), and two new species: Bolboceras duplicatum, and Bolboceras orissicum, both from India. All three are keyed, diagnosed, and illustrated; variability and potential taxonomic obstacles are briefly discussed.
讨论了不等球角锹甲(Bolboceras inaequale)物种组的分类学。这里所定义的该物种组在印度次大陆包括三个物种:不等球角锹甲(Bolboceras inaequale Westwood,1848年,据说也分布到撒哈拉以南非洲),以及两个新物种:双球角锹甲(Bolboceras duplicatum)和奥里萨球角锹甲(Bolboceras orissicum),二者均来自印度。对所有三个物种进行了检索、诊断并加以图示说明;简要讨论了其变异性和潜在的分类学障碍。
