Description

Species of Dicronocephalus have been called "antler horn beetles", but the similarity applies only to the males (see illustrations of D. wallichi). Unlike the distantly related, African Goliath beetles, species in this genus are medium-sized (20-32 mm), with relatively long (especially front) legs.
