Neocollyris

Overview

*Neocollyris* (Heterocollyris) Naviaux, 1994 is a subgenus of slender, metallic cicindelids haunting the bark and branches of Oriental forest trees. These elongate hunters, reaching 18 mm, conceal their larvae in bark burrows — a hallmark of arboreal Collyridini life. Around 23 species range across the Oriental region.

Type species: Collyris bonellii Guérin-Méneville, 1834 [by original designation (W. Horn 1901)]
