The taxonomic revision of the Dichotomius reclinatus species group (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae: Dichotomius Hope, 1838) sensu Arias-Buriticá and Vaz-de-Mello (2019) is presented. The group comprises four species previously included in the Dichotomius buqueti species group: Dichotomius horridus (Felsche, 1911) from Brazil, French Guiana, and Suriname; Dichotomius nimuendaju (Luederwaldt, 1925) from Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru; Dichotomius quadrinodosus (Felsche, 1901) from Brazil; and Dichotomius reclinatus (Felsche, 1901) from Colombia and Ecuador. A definition of the D. reclinatus species group and an identification key are presented. In the key we included to Dichotomius camposeabrai Martínez, 1974, this species due the external morphology can be confused with the D. reclinatus species group and for the first time photographs of males and female of this species are presented. For each species of the D. reclinatus species group, the following information is provided: taxonomic history, citation of the species in published literature, redescription, list of material examined, photographs of the external morphology, illustrations of male genital organs and the endophallites, and distribution map.
