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.
