Eupholus nickerli is a species of beetle belonging to the family Curculionidae.

[1] Subspecies include: This species can be found in Papua New Guinea.

[5] In the subspecies Eupholus-nickerli cyanescens the basic colour of these quite variable beetles is metallic blue, with some transversal irregular black bands along the elytra.

In the subspecies Eupholus-nickerli anthracina the basic color is greygreyish, with transversal black and yellowish bands .

These structural colours derive from very small, flat scales [6] and possibly serve to warn predators of their toxicity.
