Chrysina woodi
Chrysina woodi, or Wood's jewel scarab, is a species of shining leaf chafer in the family of beetles known as Scarabaeidae. The name was first published in the minutes of a meeting in 1884 as woodi,[1] in advance of the formal description of the species as woodii in 1885,[2] but under ICZN Article 50.2, the 1884 name and spelling take precedence.[3][4]
