A fossil Valginae species from the Upper Miocene of France (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

<italic>Valgus cantalensis</italic> sp. nov., second fossil species of the scarabaeid subfamily Valginae, is described from the Upper Miocene Konservat-Laggerstätte of Sainte-Reine (France). The fossil is compared to the extant valgine genera and <italic>Valgus</italic> spp., showing it is a new species. But its exact affinities in the genus <italic>Valgus</italic> remain undetermined because of the lacking of a recent morphological phylogenetic analysis of the <italic>Valgus</italic> spp. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
