The red-headed cockchafer or red-headed pasture cockchafer (Adoryphorus couloni [1] [2] or Adoryphorus coulonii [3] [4]) is a species of Australian scarab beetle in the genus Adoryphorus. It is a pasture pest in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania. [1] It has become naturalised in Canterbury, New Zealand, where it was first recorded in 1963. [2]
The adult beetle is 10–15mm long, 8mm wide, and shiny reddish-brown to black. The larva is white-grey in the early stage. Older larva have yellowish legs and a hard red-brown head, and then become white when mature. [1]
