Colophon primosi is one of 17 described species of beetle in family Lucanidae, closely related to the scarab family, endemic to South Africa.[1]
Colophon beetles are also known as Barnard's stag beetles after Dr. Keppel Harcourt Barnard (1887–1964), who pioneered studies of this genus while working at the South African Museum. Barnard's mountaineering interest first brought him into contact with the genus, and many species of the beetles were named after his mountaineering friends.
Indiscriminate collecting and habitat destruction, especially from fires as the beetles are flightless, are so threatening to the genus, it has been placed under the protection of nature conservation laws in South Africa, with C. primosi being particularly endangered. Being flightless makes recolonisation of burnt areas more difficult for these beetles.
Though little is known of its lifecycle and habitat requirements, this has not deterred Japanese and European collectors of C. primosi. Consequently, the genus has been placed on CITES Appendix II, banning all trade, exchange, or sale of the insects. TRAFFIC has reported on insect trade fairs in Germany where tens of thousands of specimens have been offered for sale, and has called for threatened butterfly and beetle species to be placed under EU Wildlife Trade protection.[2]

プリモスマルガタクワガタ(Colophon primosi)は、甲虫目・クワガタムシ科・マルガタクワガタ属に属するクワガタムシ、本属で最も知名度の高い種である。
体長は26-35mm（♂）22mm（♀）で本属最大となり、例外的に黒以外の体色を持ち、オスは黒の地色に大アゴ；脚；頭頂部はオレンジ色となる。
オスの大アゴは本属最長で形も大きく異なり、直線的に伸びてウサギの耳に似たような形となり、鈎のような先端は下側に湾曲し上からは確認しにくい。オスの交尾器は左右非対称。
メスも同じくオレンジ色の脚と頭頂部を持ち、他種との区別は容易い。
個性的な外見で知名度は高いが、入荷の規制（入手するには許可証が必要）などで入手するのが非常に困難である。
生息地は同属から最も離れて、そこで独自に進化して同属と大きく異なる外見を与えた考えられる。
