Plectris eusquamosa Frey, 1975, here designated.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Dorsal surface with glabrous and shiny areas mixed with areas covered by scale-like setae, some sparse hair-like setae present (Figs. 2, 9–17); posterior angles of clypeus not forming part of canthus area (Fig. 4); contact of mesoscutum−scutellum angulate (Fig. 5); protibiae and mesotibiae of males wide and flat (Figs. 11, 21, 23); protibia with two outer teeth and with a spur (Fig. 21); mesotarsomere I of males with an inner hook-like tooth (Figs. 23–24); metatarsomere IV with two well-defined groups of inner spiny setae, one of these at apex and other at proximal area (Fig. 34); inner side of metatarsomere V with a raised carina (Figs. 27, 34–35).</p> <p>Etymology. Zagurya is named in honor of Dr. Fernando Zagury Vaz-de-Mello (CEMT). The name is feminine in gender.</p> <p>Remarks. Within all South American Melolonthinae, Mallotarsus and Zagurya are the only genera that have mesotarsomere I of males with an inner hook-like tooth, metatarsomere V with an inner raised carina or tubercle, and all tarsi with inner distal sulci (“claws sulci”) long (length of sulci at least one-fourth of length of inner area of metatarsomere V, Figs. 35, 37, 39, 42).</p> <p>Zagurya is distinguished from Mallotarsus by (characters of Mallotarsus given in parentheses): dorsal surface with groups of scale-like setae (never with scale-like setae); protibia with two outer teeth (with three teeth); protibia and mesotibia of males wide and 1.6 or two time longer than wide (long and more than three times longer than wide); mesotibia of males with one spur (with two spurs); metafemur without row of spiny setae (with a longitudinal row of spiny setae); inner area of metatarsomere IV with proximal spiny setae (without proximal spiny setae); inner distal area of metatarsomere IV with spiny setae and without spine (without spiny setae and with a spine, Fig. 38); metatarsus with claws symmetrical (anterior claw smaller than posterior claw, Fig. 39).</p> <p>The new genus includes a species formerly included in Plectris. Zagurya is distinguished from Plectris by (character of Plectris given in parentheses): protibia and mesotibia of males wide and 1.6 or two time longer than wide (long and more than three times longer than wide); metatarsomere IV with two well-defined groups of inner spiny setae: proximal and distal (without spiny setae, Fig. 36); metatarsus with claws symmetrical (symmetrical or anterior claw smaller than posterior claw, Fig. 37).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DE8794FF8A8F6FE7E9F9C5FD496089	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Scale-like setae white, rarely grey; lateral areas of pronotum, elytra, pygidium, and abdominal ventrites with orange or yellow scale-like setae. Dorsal surface with some glabrous and shiny areas. Head with epistomal suture sinuous, eye large in dorsal view and interocular distance 3.3 times wider than eye width (measures taken at medial area of eyes), frons with a thin, longitudinal area glabrous and shiny.
