Temnorhynchus baal Reiche and Saulcy, 1856
This particular Dynastinae is dark brown to black and has a very characteristic plate on the head very finely and transversally wrinkled. The plate is bidentate in malee and emarginated in the females. The convex part of pronotum is strongly and densely punctate; elytra have very weak double rows of fine punctures.
Temnorhynchus baal is present in tropical Africa, Algeria, Lybia, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Cyprus and Greece. It should be noted that an other species of the genus Temnorhynchus, T.coronatus Fabricius, is also present, a part from Africa, in areas bordering the Levant: Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Cyprus.
