Sternotomis chrysopras is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It has a wide distribution in Africa. It feeds on Artocarpus altilis, Theobroma cacao, Coffea liberica, and Coffea canephora.[1] While originally named by Voet in 1778, the name was not validly published until 1844;[2] Voet's 1778 work fails to fulfill the requirement in ICZN Article 11.4 that a work must be consistently binominal; none of Voet's 1778 names, including S. chrysopras, are available.[3]
