Description

Adult

Body length of an adult is 2.6–4.4 millimetres (0.10–0.17 in). [1] The pronotum, mesonotum, and metanotum are strongly shiny. The head and legs have a moderate shine, as do the elytra. The abdomen is matte. [2]

Pupa

The body length of pupae ranges from 3.1–3.65 millimetres (0.122–0.144 in), and their width between 1.45–1.7 millimetres (0.057–0.067 in). [2] Pupae range in color from whitish to cream, except for the longitudinal tubercles, which are light brown in color.

<i>Goliathus</i> Genus of beetles

The Goliath beetles are any of the five species in the genus Goliathus. Goliath beetles are among the largest insects on Earth, if measured in terms of size, bulk and weight. They are members of subfamily Cetoniinae, within the family Scarabaeidae. Goliath beetles can be found in many of Africa's tropical forests, where they feed primarily on tree sap and fruit. Little appears to be known of the larval cycle in the wild, but in captivity, Goliathus beetles have been successfully reared from egg to adult using protein-rich foods such as commercial cat and dog food. Goliath beetles measure from 60–110 millimetres (2.4–4.3 in) for males and 50–80 millimetres (2.0–3.1 in) for females, as adults, and can reach weights of up to 80–100 grams (2.8–3.5 oz) in the larval stage, though the adults are only about half this weight. The females range from a dark brown to silky white, but the males are normally brown/white/black or black/white.

Burmocoelus is an extinct genus of Archostematan beetle belonging to the family Ommatidae. It is known from two species, Burmocoleus zhiyuani, which was initially assigned to the genus Brochocoleus this was placed into the new genus Burmocoleus by Kirejtshuk, 2020, who also described a new species, Burmocoleus prisnyi. Both species are known from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber from Myanmar. Similar to Stegocoleus, Brochocoleus and Jarzembowskiops it has flat, wide elytral edges, but can be distinguished from these genera in several characters, and is more similar to other ommatids in the characters of the prothorax.
