Dynastes hyllus is a large scarab beetle species that ranges from Mexico to Guatemala.

Its larvae have been found to associate with the logs of Persea americana.

[1] There were two subspecies recognized, D. hyllus hyllus and D. hyllus moroni,[2] 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.
