Premium A1 Quality Dry-Preserved Beetle Specimen
A doubly distinguished example of Eupholus schoenherri petiti — a jewel weevil from the family CURCULIONIDAE that carries two honoured names in a single specimen. The species name schoenherri honours Carl Johan Schönherr (1772–1848), the Swedish entomologist whose monumental eight-volume work Genera et Species Curculionidum remains the foundational reference for weevil taxonomy to this day — a man who dedicated decades of his life to cataloguing the very family to which this specimen belongs. The subspecies name petiti adds a second layer of tribute, honouring a further contributor to entomological knowledge. Dry-preserved to A1 museum standard, this specimen retains its full chromatic intensity and fine surface detail.
Specimen Details
Ideal For
Within the Eupholus series, schoenherri petiti is unique in carrying two tributes simultaneously — a specimen that honours the very science of CURCULIONIDAE taxonomy while embodying the visual splendour that makes the family so compelling to collectors. The most self-referential and fitting specimen in the jewel weevil collection.
Each specimen is ethically sourced and individually inspected to ensure A1 quality standards before dispatch.
