Choresine ist eine Gattung der Käfer. Sie kommen in Neuguinea und den Molukken vor. Einige oder alle Arten enthalten das Insektengift Batrachotoxin in ihrer Hämolymphe. rdf:langString
Choresine est un genre de coléoptères de la famille des Melyridae. Ces insectes contiennent de faible dose de batrachotoxine, et pourraient être la source du poison trouvé dans la peau de certaines grenouilles tropicales (du genre Phyllobates) et chez certains oiseaux vénéneux du genre Pitohui mais aussi chez l'Ifrita de Kowald. rdf:langString
Choresine is a genus of beetles that belong to the Melyridae family. This genus of beetle is known to have high levels of batrachotoxins and is believed to be a possible toxin source for Pitohui and Blue-capped ifrit birds in New Guinea. Collections from in the Eastern Highlands Province that tested positive for batrachotoxins included the more abundant , the less abundant and the two infrequent and , the latter as yet unnamed. The locals advise against allowing these beetles to touch the eyes or sweaty face as a severe burning sensation can result. These species are all described as having metallic blue-violaceous elytra and a yellow and blackish pronotum. The name "nanisani" is used by villagers in Herowana equally for this group of insects, the numbing, tingling, burning sensation th rdf:langString

The hypothesis that Phyllobates frogs in South America obtain batrachotoxins from related genera of the Melyridae (Choresine does not occur there) has not been tested due to the difficulty of field-work in Colombia.
