Abirus fortunei

A. fortunei has a length of 7.5–9.5 millimetres (0.30–0.37 in), and is subcylindrical in shape. The general color of the body is variable, being either metallic green, cupreous (reddish-brown), violet or purplish. The antennae are blackish brown in color, with the basal segments being fulvous (tawny or brownish-orange). The back side is covered with fine setae. Both the pronotum and elytra are also covered in large punctures, and the elytra also have a wrinkled texture with the wrinkles oriented transversely.^[3]

In Xiushui County of Jiangxi Province, China, A. fortunei is recorded to have one generation every two years. Adults and larvae overwinter in soil chambers found 15–60 centimetres (5.9–23.6 in) underground in mulberry fields. Adults feed on the leaves, while larvae feed on the underground parts of the mulberry tree, generally 30–50 centimetres (12–20 in) under the soil surface. The eggs hatch in 9–10 days, the larval stage lasts 15–16 months, the pupa stage lasts 15–19 days, and the adult stage lasts 8–9 months (6–7 months of which are spent hibernating underground).^[5]
