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

[2][3] The species name schoenherri honours the Swedish entomologist Carl Johan Schönherr.

This species can be found in New Guinea Eupholus (schoenherri) petiti is usually metallic bright blue-green, with four transverse unequally spaced black shining bands on elytra.

Antennae are club-shaped, it has a longitudinal groove on the vertex and the extremity of thighs is blue.

The blue-green colour derives from very small scales, covering all over the elytra.
