In western Europe, the Dynastinae subfamily (in the scarab beetle family) has only 6 species, of great or very great size and of brown or fl color.
Moreover, one of the Dynastinae characteristic is their sexual dimorphism; the male often showing appendices or "horns" on the head or the prothorax, "horns" that have led to some species being called "rhinoceros beetles".
Most species of Dynastinae have a nocturnal activity and are attracted by lights.

This species of Dynastinae is one of the loudest and most enthusiastic "squeakers" of the rhinos.
The fuzzy look of this rhino is due to numerous hairs (setae) covering the elytra and pronotum.

Introduction The group of Beetles (Coleoptera) we deal with here are from the Scarabaedae (Scarabs & Chafers) Dynastinae and Lucanidae (Stags & Rhino Beetles) The Scarabaedae family, which contains over 20,000 species world-wide, includes some of the largest and most spectacular of the beetles and some of the most colourful.
For the purposes of these notes we refer to the group as fruit beetles and hope that some of our accrued knowledge from the last years of breeding will be of use to all fellow enthusiasts.
Most male cetoniinae are safe to keep together in the same cage, but some of the dynastinae, especially Chalcasoma spp.

 Family Scarabaeidae - Scarab beetle breeding manual
Before you even obtain some pairs of adult scarabs for breeding, it is always a good idea to at least have the materials prepared that will be used to create the rearing substrate.
The materials used to rear beetles of the subfamilies cetoniinae and dynastinae are heavily decomposed deciduous hardwoods and old leaf litter that has aged to the point that it has become a bit soft and moldy.
When found in nature, these two materials are very seldom of the proper consistency for ideal use as a rearing substrate for captive beetles, and they usually must be broken down further.

 How to breed Cetoninae
For example: In one 5 liters plastic box I am breeding 20 - 30 larvaes of small Cetoninae or 10 larvae of medium Dynastinae or 1 big larvae of Dynastinae (Megasoma, Dynastes, etc).
For Cetoninae you need 10 - 20 % woods, for Dynastinae from 40 to 60 % and for Lucanidae 70 - 90 %.
For Dynastinae you must insert pieces of fruits on breeding compound too.

Females are normally the emitters and males the receivers, and in this case, the semiochemicals are referred to as sex pheromones.
Although a few studies have reported the chemical ecology of the dung beetles (Scarabaeinae), most of the emphasis by research programs on chemical communication in scarab beetles has focused on the subfamilies Cetoniinae, Melolonthinae, Dynastinae, and Rutelinae because of their economic importance as agricultural and/or turf pests.
Largely, these research projects are aimed at the development of attractants (pheromones or food-type lure compounds) for possible applications in management programs.

 God of Insects - Museum: Dynastinae
The subfamily Dynastinae is a group of beetles commonly referred to as “Rhinoceros Beetles”.
Rhinoceros Beetles are so named because of the graceful horns that most members of this family bear.
Depending on the species, some Dynastinae larvae feed exclusively on rotten wood, while others require supplements of protein (denied proper nutrition, larvae turn cannibalistic).

"The Dynastinae is one of the most conspicuous subfamilies of Scarabaeidae, and it occurs in all the major biogeographic regions of the world.
The objectives of the project he is working on are : (1) to create a collection of beetles from Costa Rica, Panama, and the United States and (2) to publish a well-illustrated field manual which details all the Dynastinae of Panama and Costa Rica.
Included in the manual will be descriptions of all species, geographical and temporal distributions, ecological and life history data, and both English and Spanish keys to identify the species.

The position of the genus in the Scarabaeidae has been debated, either being placed in the Dynastinae (tribe Cyclocephalini) or in the Rutelinae (tribe Rutelini).
Based on the literature, genera that are purportedly closely related to Peltonotus (Neohyphus Heller and Melanhyphus Fairmaire) are placed in the tribe Oryctoderini (Dynastinae).
We conducted preliminary phylogenetic analyses to determine the phylogenetic relationships of Peltonotus and to determine the tribal placement of the genus.

Several poorly studied exoskeletal features have been examined, including the elytral base, posterior wing venation, mouth parts, endosternites, coxal articulation, and genitalia.
The results of the analysis strongly support the monophyly of the `orphnine group' + `melolonthine group' including phytophagous scarabs such as Dynastinae, Hopliinae, Melolonthinae, Rutelinae, and Cetoniinae.
The `melolonthine group' is comprised in the strict consensus tree by two major clades and two minor lineages, with the included taxa of Euchirinae, Rutelinae, and Dynastinae nested together in one of the major clades (`melolonthine group I').
