Taxonomy:
Paulsen, M.J. and D.C. Hawks. 2014. A review of the primary types of the Hawaiian stag beetle genus Apterocyclus Waterhouse (Coleoptera, Lucanidae, Lucaninae), with the description of a new species. ZooKeys 433: 77–88. Available from: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.433.8022
Remarks:
Like other members of the genus, this species is likely in peril due to introduced rodents. Only two specimens are known, both males. All aspects of the life history of this species require urgent study.
