Chondrorrhina Bonnardi
''Chondrorrhina'' is a genus of fruit and flower chafers belonging to the family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Cetoniinae, found in Africa. Taxonomy The genus was originally named ''Plaesiorrhina'' by Hermann Burmeister in 1842, but this same name had been published several months earlier by John O. Westwood.Bousquet, Y. (2016) Litteratura Coleopterologica (1758–1900): a guide to selected books related to the taxonomy of Coleoptera with publication dates and notes. ZooKeys 583: 1-776. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.583.7084 As Burmeister's name was a junior homonym, it cannot be used, and the next available name for the same genus, ''Chondrorrhina'', was published by Gustav Kraatz in 1880. As the type species of ''Chondrorrhina'' (''Cetonia abbreviata'' Fabricius, 1792) was different from the type species of Burmeister's genus (''Gnathocera depressa'' Gory & Percheron, 1833; a synonym of ''Cetonia recurva'' Fabricius, 1801), the latter taxon was reduced to a subgenus after being r ...

Scarabaeidae - Chondrorrhina Abbreviata
The family Scarabaeidae, as currently defined, consists of over 35,000 species of beetles worldwide; they are often called scarabs or scarab beetles. The classification of this family has undergone significant change. Several groups formerly treated as subfamilies have been elevated to family rank (e.g., Bolboceratidae, Geotrupidae, Glaresidae, Glaphyridae, Hybosoridae, Ochodaeidae, and Pleocomidae), and some reduced to lower ranks. The subfamilies listed in this article are in accordance with those in Catalog of Life (2023). Description Scarabs are stout-bodied beetles; most are brown or black in colour, but many, generally species that are diurnally active, have bright metallic colours, measuring between . The antenna (biology), antennae of most species superficially seem to be knobbed (capitate), but the several segments comprising the head of the antenna are, as a rule, lamellate: they extend laterally into plates called lamella (zoology), lamellae that they usually ...
