Diagnosis:
Males. This species is separated from other Glyphoderus species
by the shape and placement of the pronotal horns and tubercles (see
illustration). Glyphoderus monticola has the pronotum
with two horns in middle and two transversally elongated tubercles (sometimes
developed as horns) on the basal half; horns and tubercles on margin
of medial depression; anteromedial horn with ‘‘arms’’
elongated, with two anteromedial teeth; distance between teeth as long
as tooth base. No morphological characters were found to diagnose females
of this species, females can be identified only by association with
males.
