Narrative

Goliathini Tribe contains some of the largest and most colorful of the worlds beetles. Although the tribe Goliathini has a few members found in Mexico and China and Malaysia, the tribe reaches its greatest development in Africa. Those interested in a thorough analysis of this tribe are referred to the series of books published by Sciences Nat in France. Of particular interest is the volume on the Goliath Beetles by Gilbert Lachaume and a second volume by Allard on some of the other genera.
