Description
The horns on males of this species are thick and stout pronotal. This species elytra has an olive coloured green coloration to it. The species is morphologically similar to the species Dynastes hyllus and Dynastes hercules. The coloration of its body might be because of introgression from Dynastes septentrionalis, a sympatric species of Hercules beetle.
