Description of a new Moroccan Pachydema Laporte, 1832 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae: Tanyproctini)

The authors describe Pachydema hingrati sp. nov. from eastern Morocco. This new species is closely related to other Moroccan species: Pachydema curvipedes Escalera, 1914, described from Oujda, and Pachydema renaudi Chavanon & Francois, 2014 described from Missour. An update of the key by Baraud (1985) to the males of the Moroccan Pachydema group I ( Pachydema s. str. sensu Baraud 1985) is included.
