Platycnemididae - Coeliccia octogesima

Platycnemididae - Coeliccia octogesima (Selys, 1863)

The genus Coeliccia is always beautiful for its unique marking on the dorsal synthorax. Coeliccia octogesima is easily distinguished from the other Coeliccia species of Peninsular Malaysia by having marks of telephone handle. Coeliccia octogesima is found abundantly in the Bangi Forest Reserve.
