Wiebes (Catalogue of the coleoptera Cetoniidae in the Leiden Museum )〕 It is one of the largest species of the genus Goliathus, with a body length of about in males.〔(Goliathus regius in Natural World )〕 The body is broad and flat. Elytra are whitish with a complex pattern of black markings. Pronotum (thoracic shield) shows large black longitudinal stripe. The head bears a black Y-shaped horn in males, used in battles with other males. Legs are long, powerful, black. Females have two sharp spikes on the outside of the tibiae.

These beetles feed primarily on tree sap and fruits.〔
