}}Eudicella smithii, the Jade headed buffalo beetle, is an insect of the scarab beetle family, in the subfamily known as flower beetles.[2] Varietas
DescriptionEudicella smithii reaches about {{convert|25|-|40|mm}} of length. The males have a Y-shaped forked horn in the forehead, typical of the entire genus and used in fighting over females and in defense of territory. The color of the pronotum can be reddish, green or blue. The elytra vary from ocher to yellowish and show a black spot on the shoulders and on the rear exterior angles. The legs are mostly reddish brown.Due to similarities between E.smithi and E.euthalia the two are easily confused. DistributionThis species can be found in Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa and Tanzania.[1] References1. ^1 2 [https://www.biolib.cz/en/taxon/id558592/ Biolib] 2. ^Catalogue of life
