Holotrichia rufoflava is a species of dung beetle found in South India and Sri Lanka. [1] [2] [3]
It is a shiny light colored beetle with an enlarged body measuring 18-22mm in length. [4] Clypeus and head punctuations are close and deep. Adult beetles are phytophagous and frequently observed in rose and Albizia species. [5] The damage becomes severe during April rains.

The Japanese beetle is a species of scarab beetle. The adult measures 15 mm (0.6 in) in length and 10 mm (0.4 in) in width, has iridescent copper-colored elytra, and a green thorax and head. It is not very destructive in Japan, but in North America and some regions of Europe, it is a noted pest to roughly 300 species of plants, including rose bushes, grapes, hops, canna, crape myrtles, birch trees, linden trees, and others.
Dermolepida albohirtum, the cane beetle, is a native Australian beetle and a pest of sugarcane. Adult beetles eat the leaves of sugarcane, but greater damage is done by their larvae hatching underground and eating the roots, which either kills or stunts the growth of the plant. The beetles can also be found in the Philippines and are known there by the local name salagubang.
