You won't find a photo anywhere online. There were only 4 specimens ever been found and no one alive has ever found it. I've only seen one male at the QLD museum. Here's a pic of a female pic no 198. Attachments:

Actually Geoff Monteith collected one of these and he is still well and truly alive.

Thanks, bichos. Interesting.
Such a precious specimen and to damage its elytra...

The male I saw at the QLD museum looks nothing like that.

Interesting info about Homolamprima crenulata in the most recent Scarabs Newsletter Scarabs #74:"...The species was reported from southern Queensland by Moore and Cassis (1992), which would seem to indicate that at least one additional specimen has been found in the ensuing 138 years...". Picture of H. crenulata provided in the newsletter seems to be a photoshopped picture from "The Lucanid Beetles of the World", which you can see in this topic already. |
