Euphoria (beetle)
''Euphoria'' is a genus of scarab beetles in the subfamily Cetoniinae, the flower chafers. They are native to the Americas, where they are distributed from Canada to Argentina. They are most diverse in Mexico and Central America.〔Micó, E., et al. (2000). (New larval descriptions for two species of ''Euphoria'' Burmeister (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae: Cetoniini: Euphoriina) with a key to the known larvae and a review of the larval biology. ) ''Annals of the Entomological Society of America'' 93(4), 795-801.〕 As of 2012, there are about 59 species in the genus.〔Orozco, J. (2012). (Monographic revision of the American genus ''Euphoria'' Burmeister, 1842 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae). ) ''The Coleopterists Bulletin'' (11), 1-182.〕
==Description and biology==
''Euphoria'' beetles can be polymorphic and some species are difficult to tell apart.〔Orozco, J. (2009). (A new generic and new specific synonym in the genus ''Euphoria'' Burmeister (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae: Cetoniini). ) ''Insecta Mundi'' (65), 1-4.〕
The larvae are generally found buried a few centimeters deep in soil rich in organic matter such as compost, dung, animal burrows, packrat middens, and ant nests.〔 In at least some species, the pupa develops in a subterranean cell with a thin wall made of feces mixed with soil.〔 Some species overwinter as adults, and others as larvae.〔
