genus:   HERCULAISIA Seilliere 1910
species:  malaleuca Fairmaire 1889
origin: Vietnam
wild imago size:  30-38mm
sexual dimorphism:  males with horn on clypeus
note:  I haven`t reproduced this attactive species. In cocoon stage itīs necessary to add some clay or sand, otherwise cocoons are fragile and may rupture when being manipulated.

genus:   DICHEROS G&P, 1833
species:  bicornis Latreille 1817
origin:  Thailand
wild imago size:  17-22mm
sexual dimorphism:  males with horn on clypeus
note:  I could not breed this species. Apparently oviposition is the problem and, as for other asian cetoniinae, moisture and temperature onditions in cocoon phase must be very specific otherwise most of them decease.
