(Chrysochroa wallacei)
Chrysochroa wallacei is a species of beetle in the genus Chrysochroa, family Buprestidae. It was scientifically described by Deyrolle in 1864. Chrysochroa is a genus of "jewel" or metallic wood-boring beetles, typical of the tribe Chrysochroini. Most of the many species are native to Southeast Asian nations such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. However, a good number are found in India, one (Chrysochroa fulgidissima ssp. alternans) in Japan, (Chrysochroa coreana) in Korea, and one (Chrysochroa lepida) in Africa.
