A variant or alternative term for a member of the Dynastidae family of beetles; any large beetle of the dynastid group.
From Dynastidae (family name) + -an suffix. A less common taxonomic term used alongside 'dynastid' in biological classification systems.
Entomologists might use 'dynastidan' in scientific papers, but it's mostly been replaced by the simpler 'dynastid'—it's like how 'thee' and 'thou' disappeared from English.
