The Schizorhinina are a primarily Australasian group of flower beetles with a normally trisinuate base to the pronotum, and a usually broad pygidium with the anal zone reflexed and hidden from above. Members include the genus Diaphonia of which males are mostly pale tan in colour whereas females are dark blackish brown (Golding 2009).
