Eudicella loricata Males reaches a length of about 25–30 millimetres (0.98–1.18 in) while females are roughly 21-27mm.

The male has a Y-shaped, flat horn on the forehead, used in fighting over females and in defense of territory.

The beetle also looks superficially similar to Eudicella euthalia.

It is usually found around rain forest habitats and under trees in parts of savannah.

They are considered pests in farms where they feed on fruits at open gashes but should not be killed as larvae play an important part of the ecosystem.
