Euphoria is a genus of scarab beetles in the subfamily Cetoniinae, the flower or fruit chafers. They are native to the Americas, where they are distributed from Canada to Argentina. They are most diverse in Mexico and Central America. As of 2012, there are 59 species in the genus.
Flower chafers are a group of scarab beetles, comprising the subfamily Cetoniinae. Many species are diurnal and visit flowers for pollen and nectar, or to browse on the petals. Some species also feed on fruit. The group is also called fruit and flower chafers, flower beetles and flower scarabs. There are around 4,000 species, many of them still undescribed.
Onthophagus is a genus of dung beetles in the Onthophagini tribe of the wider scarab beetle family, Scarabaeidae. It is the most species-rich and widespread genus in the subfamily Scarabaeinae, with a global distribution.
Ischiopsopha are beetles from the subfamily Cetoniinae, tribe Schizorhinini. The genus was created by Raffaello Gestro in 1874. The type species of the genus is Cetonia bifasciata Quoy & Gaimard, 1824. These cetoniids have the tip of the scutellum visible. The genus is spread throughout the whole Australian region.
Pachnoda is a genus of beetles from the subfamily Cetoniinae with nearly all of the species living in Africa. The limit of the genus is given by the presence of internal lobes in their aedeagi.
Rhabdotis is a genus of the family Scarabaeidae.
Protaetia is a genus of beetles of the family Scarabaeidae, occurring primarily in Asia, and containing over 300 species.
Trichostetha fascicularis is a large, metallic-green beetle found in South Africa.
Euchroea is a genus of beetles of the family Scarabaeidae and subfamily Cetoniinae. It originates in Madagascar.
Mecynorhina are beetles from the subfamily Cetoniinae, tribe Goliathini. The genus was created by Frederick William Hope, in 1837.
Cotinis is a genus of scarab beetles in the subfamily Cetoniinae found throughout North and South America. At least two species are common pests. The genus was erected by Hermann Burmeister in 1842.
Cotinis subviolacea is a species of the Cotinis scarab genus. It was described by Hippolyte Louis Gory and Achille Rémy Percheron in 1833. It is found in the United States.
Rhabdotis albinigra is a species of Scarabaeidae, the dung beetle family. It was described by Hermann Burmeister in 1847.
Gymnetis is a genus of beetles of the family Scarabaeidae and subfamily Cetoniinae.
Trichostetha coetzeri is an afrotropical species of flower scarab beetle endemic to South Africa, where it occurs in the Cape Floristic Region. It was first described by Perissinotto, Šípek & Ball, 2014.
Trichostetha bicolor is an afrotropical species of flower scarab beetle endemic to South Africa, where it occurs in the Cape Floristic Region. It is sometimes synonymized with Trichostetha capensis, but in addition to morphological differences, T. bicolor is found further north and in different habitat types than the former species, with no intermediate forms or populations.
Xeloma are beetles from the subfamily Cetoniinae, tribe Cetoniini. The genus contains thirteen recognised species found in various countries of Sub-Saharan Africa.
Rhinocoeta is a genus of colorful beetles belonging to the subfamily Cetoniinae, family Scarabaeidae.
Protaetia cuprea, also known as the copper chafer, is a species of chafer in the family Scarabaeidae. This species is also known as the rose chafer, and has a wide geographic distribution extending from Canary Islands, Portugal and Spain in the west towards Vladivostok in the Russian Far East, Mongolia, and northern China. This species forages for pollen from flowers and fruits, such as apples, from trees. However, since fruit is scarce in the spring and winter, they only transition from a diet of pollen to a diet of fruits in the summer. Since pollen is more rich in proteins and lipids than carbohydrates, and fruit is more rich in carbohydrates, they are able to travel longer when on a fruit diet. This is due to their increased aerobic performance when fueled by carbohydrate rich content.
Odontorrhina is a genus of flower chafer beetles comprising four species and two subspecies. The bodies of all species are heavily covered with small bristles (setae), and they are believed to be most closely related to the genus Trichostetha. Members of the genus have been recorded exclusively from the South African provinces of the Northern and Western Cape, aside from one unconfirmed record from southern Namibia. They are endemic to Fynbos and Succulent Karoo habitats.
