About Lophyra cancellata (Dejean, 1825)
Lophyra cancellata (Dejean, 1825) is a beetle species with a body length ranging from 10 to 11 mm. It has a copper-colored head and pronotum, with green or blue sides. Its labrum is large and white, and its elytra bear antler-like markings. Bare cheeks distinguish this species from the similar species Lophyra catena. At least five subspecies of Lophyra cancellata are recognized: Lophyra cancellata subsp. borchmanni (Mandl, 1954), Lophyra cancellata subsp. cancellata (Dejean, 1825), Lophyra cancellata subsp. candei (Chevrolat, 1845), Lophyra cancellata subsp. intemperata (Acciavatti & Pearson, 1989), and Lophyra cancellata subsp. subtilesculpta (W.Horn, 1912).
