Cetonia is a genus of beetles in family Scarabaeidae, belonging to the subfamily Cetoniinae. One of the most familiar species is the rose chafer (C. aurata).
Cetonia aurata, called the rose chafer or the green rose chafer, is a beetle, 20 millimetres long, that has a metallic structurally coloured green and a distinct V-shaped scutellum. The scutellum is the small V-shaped area between the wing cases; it may show several small, irregular, white lines and marks. The underside of the beetle has a coppery colour, and its upper side is sometimes bronze, copper, violet, blue/black, or grey.
The noble chafer is a species of beetles belonging to the family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Cetoniinae.

The punctate flower chafer or spotted flower chafer, Neorrhina punctata, is a species of flower chafer. The chafers are beetles of subfamily Cetoniinae in the large scarab beetle family (Scarabaeidae). Among the chafers, N. punctatum belongs to the tribe Schizorhinini.
Macrodactylus subspinosus is a North American beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. The members of its genus are known as "rose chafers", not to be confused with the European rose chafer, Cetonia aurata. M. subspinosus occurs from Eastern Canada to Colorado and is considered a pest of many crops and flowers. It is given its common name of rose chafer because it eats the leaves of roses, although it also feeds on many other plants.
