Abstract - Comparative morphological and morphometric description of two pairs of rare artificial F1 hybrids from parentals of species belonging to the genus Dynastes MacLeay (Coleoptera, Scarabaeideae, Dynastinae, Dynastini) - Two pairs of artificial rare F1 hybrids - Dynastes hercules Linnaeus x Dynastes neptunus Quensel in Schönherr (Hybr 1), and Dynastes satanas Moser x Dynastes hyllus Chevrolat (Hybr 2) - together with their tegmina, are described, illustrated and morphologically and morphometrically compared to specimens having similar length and complexion belonging to the parental taxa. Hybr 1 and Hybr 2 exhibit intermediate characters between the parental species, or prevalent characters of one of the parental species. Hybr 1 and Hybr 2 are unique.
