  Because it is not a species, it is a genus consisting of dozens of species. You have to be more specific to identify it. Posted 10 years ago

      Well, they all look a lot alike, but Heteropsilopus cingulipes only occurs in Australia I think. Posted 10 years ago

        Hey, I think I identified the species of this insect.
        Chrysosoma.
        
        For reference: humilis Becker, 1922b: 172 (Chrysosoma). Taiwan; Solomon Is, Western Samoa; China, India, Malaysia (Pen), Nepal, Philippines.

        Chrysosoma is a genus, not a species. A genus consists of multiple species and therefore Chrysosoma is not specific enough for a species identification. Posted 8 years ago
