JKim Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Firstly, Allomyrina dichotoma is no longer a valid name. It is now reclassified into Genus Trypoxylus, and the species name is dichtomus as the gender of genus has changed. Trypoxylus dichotomus is the valid name now. There is only one? species now in the Allomyrina, which is Allomyrina pfeifferi. The resting period for Trypoxylus dichotomus is a 4 to 6 weeks. You may have a pair set up together after 4 full weeks. After first picking up of eggs, you may separate male away from female, so female can focus on laying eggs, and not having another, unnecessary mating with male. Place many jellies (4 to 6) in a single time, and don't even attempt to open a container, if you would like to have many and many more eggs.

If you are keeping just an adult male, without breeding, not much things to worry about. Just feed him daily to once in two to three days with fresh beetle jellies or bananas, or any other fruits. After about two weeks you can handle them fine. He won't die out of stress unless you handle them several hours a day for everyday...

Per the morphological difference between Allomyrina pfeifferi with dichotomus spp. group, dichotomus spp. are reclassified to Trypoxylus out of Allomyrina. A lot and many recent researches also (because of that) discusses it as T. dichotomus, instead of A. dichotoma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
