Chrysochroa

Chrysochroa is a genus of "jewel" or metallic wood-boring beetles, typical of the tribe Chrysochroini.

Most of the many species are native to Southeast Asian nations such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

However, a good number are found in India, one (Chrysochroa fulgidissima ssp.

alternans) in Japan, (Chrysochroa coreana) in Korea, and one (Chrysochroa lepida) in Africa.
