Taxonomy
There were two subspecies recognized, D. hyllus hyllus and D. hyllus moroni, but subsequent genetic analyses clearly indicate that they are unrelated to one another; D. hyllus hyllus is sister to Dynastes grantii, while D. hyllus moroni is sister to Dynastes maya, so moroni is presently considered a separate species.
