Abstract\nThe combined study of Ochodaeus montanus Fuente, 1912 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea: Ochodaeidae) type material and recently collected specimens from the southeastern Iberian Peninsula provided evidence for the description of new specific morphological characters, and to clarify recurring mistakes present in the literature. A comparative study between O. montanus and its closest representative, O. inermis Reitter, 1892, was completed. An updated distribution map of O. montanus as well as a bilingual identification key for the four taxa occurring within the Iberian Peninsula is given.\nResumen\nEl estudio combinado del material tipo de Ochodaeus montanus Fuente, 1912 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea: Ochodaeidae) y de ejemplares recogidos recientemente en el sureste de la Península Ibérica, ha llevado a evidenciar y describir nuevos caracteres morfológicos específicos y a aclarar errores recurrentes presentes en la bibliografía. Se presenta un estudio comparativo entre O. montanus y su representante más cercano, O. inermis Reitter, 1892. Además, se ofrece un mapa de distribución actualizado de O. montanus, así como una clave de identificación bilingüe para los cuatro taxones que se encuentran en la Península Ibérica.

A comparative study between O. montanus and its closest representative, O. inermis Reitter, 1892, was completed. An updated distribution map of O. montanus as well as a bilingual identification key for the four taxa occurring within the Iberian Peninsula is given.\nResumen\nEl estudio combinado del material tipo de Ochodaeus montanus Fuente, 1912 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea: Ochodaeidae) y de ejemplares recogidos recientemente en el sureste de la Península Ibérica, ha llevado a evidenciar y describir nuevos caracteres morfológicos específicos y a aclarar errores recurrentes presentes en la bibliografía.
