Eurylomia

Eurylomia refers to a genus of beetles belonging to the family Buprestidae, commonly known as jewel beetles or metallic wood-boring beetles. These beetles are typically characterized by their flattened, broad bodies and often exhibit vibrant metallic coloration, contributing to their common name. Eurylomia beetles are found in specific geographic regions, primarily within Australia. Their larvae are wood-borers, feeding on and developing within the tissues of trees. The specific host trees vary depending on the Eurylomia species. Adult Eurylomia beetles can be found on or near their host trees, where they may feed on leaves or pollen. The classification and taxonomy within the Eurylomia genus are subject to ongoing research and revisions.
