Abstract

Onthophilus burkei Kovarik and Skelley, new species, is described and illustrated from specimens that were collected in the burrows of Geomys pinetus Rafinesque, the southeastern pocket gopher, in a few scattered localities in Alabama, Georgia, and northern Florida as part of a comprehensive regional effort to sample burrows of this gopher for arthropod inquilines. Onthophilus burkei is the only known burrow-inhabiting Onthophilus from the southeastern USA that has six unmodified pronotal striae. This species appears to be active mainly in winter.
