Abstract: The American genera and species of the fifth tribe (oryctini) of the subfamily Dinastinae are elaborated here within the monograph series. Both the keys and the newly erected diagnoses are based on the still existing type material. Neotypes have been designated to substitute the now lost types. The described new species are Megaceras lycaon, M. prelli, Heterogomphus peruanus, H. bicuspis, H. hiekei and Strategus gracilis. The group is represented by 103 species belonging into 11 genera. The majority of them inhabits the tropical regions of Central and South Amerika, and only a smaller proportion reaches the northern and southern temperate zones.
