Abstract - In the third part of this series, one species of the genus Phacosoma, one of the genus Caccobius, and seven belonging to two subgenera of the genus Onthophagus are dealt with. The type species of the subgenus Parascatonomus of the genus Onthophagus is redescribed under the replacement name of Onthophagus (Parascatonomus) renaudpauliani. The following taxa are new to science: Phacosoma masumotoi n. sp., Caccobius (Caccophilus) tortus matsudai n. ssp., Onthophagus (Parascatonomus) fujiokai n. sp., Onthophagus (Parascatonomus) katoi n. sp. A revised key to the species of the "discedens group" of the subgenus Parascatonomus of the genus Onthophagus is also given.
