The stag beetle (Coleoptera: Lucaindae) genus Hoplogonus Parry is endemic to northeastern Tasmania and contains three recognised species. Descriptions of the imagines have been published previously, but not the larvae. Descriptions of the larvae of the three Hoplogonus species and the sympatric Lissotes rudis Lea (also Lucanidae) are presented and discussed, and a key to aid identification of Hoplogonus larvae is included. The classification of Hoplogonus within the tribe Platycerini is proposed, alongside Lissotes.
鹿角锹甲属(鞘翅目:锹甲科)的霍普洛锹甲属(Hoplogonus)是塔斯马尼亚岛东北部特有的物种,包含三个已被认可的物种。此前已发表过成虫的描述,但幼虫的描述尚未发表。本文给出并讨论了霍普洛锹甲属三个物种以及同域分布的粗角锹甲(Lissotes rudis Lea,也属于锹甲科)幼虫的描述,并提供了一个有助于识别霍普洛锹甲属幼虫的检索表。同时还提出了霍普洛锹甲属在扁锹甲族(Platycerini)中的分类地位,以及与粗角锹甲属的关系。
