Passalus sp.
I found this specimen in loam, in the militar barracks of my city, on a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Florest.
When I touch it, starts to make a wheezing/noise

Yeah, I check and agree with "Passalus sp.", "bayucca". I found 13 species of this genus. When I have more time, I'll check to try discover the exactly specie. Thank "bayucca".
Passalidae, Bess Beetle. Might be a Passalus sp.?
