Abstract - Notes on the genus Cryptodus W. S. Macleay (Col., Scarabaeidae, Dynastinae, Phileurini) with description of Cryptodus gioliveri sp. nov. from West Papua, Indonesia - Cryptodus gioliveri sp. nov. is described and illustrated on the basis of one male. Out of the 25 Cryptodus known species, 2 only [C. olivieri (Montrouzier, 1860) from New Caledonia, and C. papuanus Dechambre & Ponchel, 2018 from West Papua, Indonesia] are not distributed in Australia. Cryptodus gioliveri sp. nov. is - therefore - the second species of the genus described from West Papua, Indonesia.
