| Sumario: | The European rhinoceros beetle Oryctes nasicornis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Cool.: Scarabaeidae, Dynastinae) is widespread in Europe but patchily recorded in the Iberian Peninsula, where populations have declined due to habitat loss and changing agricultural practices. In August 2024, two specimens were found in Val de San Román (León, Spain), the first local record in five years. This new data highlights the persistence of the species in favorable microhabitats and reinforces the need to maintain monitoring programs and integrate records from citizen science to assess its conservation status. |
