This is the first known pupae case of a Giuliani Dune Scarab! I found this Giuliani Beetle dead in its pupae case on the sand surface. It must have died in the pupae case or died in the emerging process. The back of the elytra are even wrinkled. We have never found a pupae of a Giuliani Dune Scarab and as far as I know this is the only time the pupae case of a Giuliani’s Dune Scarab Beetle has ever been found.
