| phylum | Arthropoda | The Moellenkampi beetle(Chalcosoma moellenkampi) is one of three large species of dynastid rhinoceros beetles from Southeast Asia belonging to the genus Chalcosoma. They are characterized by having two large, forward-projecting horns on the pronotum or thorax, and another large, forward and upward-projecting horn on the head. They also have a distinct metallic lustre, which is the reason behind their genus name, which derives from Greek, chalko-, and is the combining form of chalkós, meaning copper.
