Description
Prosopocoilus zebra is a type of stag beetle and it is better known as Zebra Stag Beetle. It is quite rare in the mainland Malaysia but recorded as common elsewhere in its range. It has a size about 35 mm. The head is small, granulated and dark brown and has two narrow black longitudinal bands on the elytra. On the pronotum, another two narrower black lines are seen near the margins and a broad vase-like black portion covers the central part. The mandibles are short, straight, thickened and double-toothed at the posterior. The mandibles of the females are shorter and smaller in size (Tung, 1983).
Prosopocoilus zebra zebra is measured at its maximum size of 54 mm. http://www.coleoptera-atlas.com/lucanidae-scarabaeoidea/cladognathinae/prosopocoilini/prosopocoilus/Prosopocoilus-zebra-zebra
