Heterochelus Burmeister, 1844 View in CoL

[154 species and 3 additional subspecies].

Type species not designated; Burmeister (1844) placed the 54 species of the genus Heterochelus View in CoL in several informal groups and for one of the groups he designated Melolontha dentipes Fabricius, 1781 View in CoL as the type. This does not represent a valid type species fixation for Heterochelus ( Bouchard et al. 2024) View in CoL and Melolontha dentipes Fabricius, 1781 View in CoL is the type species of Dichelus Le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau & Audinet-Serville, 1828 View in CoL .
