This genus seems confined to Europe, as far as 

 I am able to ascertain at present ; Geot. Monodon, 

 Fab. pertains to it. Scarabseus Monodon of De 

 Haan from the island of Java evidently belongs to 

 another genus, although in external appearance it 

 closely resembles the Fabrician species.
