Cadmus (Brachycaulus) colossus, or Cadmus colossus, is a species of beetle in the subfamily, Cryptocephalinae, or case-bearing leaf beetles, and the subgenus, Brachycaulus.[1] It was first described by Félicien Chapuis in 1875,[1][2] from a male specimen collected at Port Denison.[2] It is native to Australia,[3] being found in New South Wales and Queensland.[1]
The taxonomic reasoning for the subgeneric arrangement (accepted by the Australian Faunal Directory)[4] is given in Mathews and Reid (2002).[5]
