The validity of this “species” of hisser is currently being debated. The primary identifying characteristic of the genus Princisia is a small notch in the front of the pronotum; however, various other species, including Gromphadorhina portentosa, can have this notch. Taxonomic discrepancies aside, the vibrant hisser is a wonderful addition to any collection. The males’ abdomens are often skirted by a fringe of golden yellow, while the females’ are mostly black with an odd blueish sheen. This “species” often grows much larger than Gromphadorhina portentosa but the two species have similar care needs with Princisia being a little pickier.
