Description
''Chalcopteroides'' range from 6 to 23 mm in length. They are oblong in shape, glabrous and usually a metallic blue or green colour. The mandibles lack a sulcus and have either truncate or rounded apices. The lateral margins of the
pronotum are complete. The
elytra usually have only superficial and minute punctures (sometimes they have impressed striae). The metaventrite is long. The tarsal vestiture (hairs on the tarsi) is mostly black.
Ecology
Some ''Chalcopteroides'' are known to live in soil. Additionally, arthropod fragments have been found in guts of some species, suggesting a
scavenging or
predatory lifestyle.
