Mecynorhina Kraatzi
''Mecynorhina'' (frequently misspelled as ''Mecynorrhina''; the original spelling used a single "r" and the misspelling is not in prevailing usage, therefore not valid under the ICZN) are beetles from the subfamily Cetoniinae, tribe Goliathini. The genus was created by Frederick William Hope, in 1837. According to the last work of De Palma & Frantz, the type species of the genus is ''Scarabaeus polyphemus'' Fabricius, 1781. The genus is spread throughout the tropical African region. Taxonomy Former classification Formerly there were three species in the genus ''Mecynorhina'': * '' Mecynorhina oberthueri'' (Fairmaire, 1903) * ''Mecynorhina torquata'' (Drury, 1782) * ''Mecynorhina ugandensis'' (Moser, 1907) Some authors designated ''ugandensis'' as a subspecies of ''torquata''. ''Mecynorhina oberthuri'' was long thought to be the rarest species in its genus, however, Jean-Pierre Lequeux discovered that it is common in the forests of Tanzania.

Mecynorhina Ugandensis

Mecynorhina Polyphemus
''Mecynorhina polyphemus'' is a large scarab beetle of the subfamily Cetoniinae found in dense tropical African forests, sometimes called the Polyphemus beetle. It is a frequent feeder on fruits and sap flows from tree wounds. The larvae develop in decomposing log compost. The third instar constructs an ovoid cocoon for metamorphosis and attaches it to a solid surface. In captivity, the instar may attach the cocoon to a glass container wall allowing the opportunity to view the transformation. Male and female are dimorphic. The female has a shiny surface texture, reflective prismatic coloration, and no horns. The male has horns and flat, velvety coloration. Females are typically 35–55 mm, while males range from 35 to 80 mm. Subspecies * ''Mecynorrhina polyphemus polyphemus'' Fabricius, 1781 (Ivory Coast, Ghana; Size: ♂ 44–72 mm; ♀ 41–50 mm) * ''Mecynorrhina polyphemus confluens'' Kraatz, 1890 (Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Co ...
