The Trichiinae are a subfamily of the scarab beetle family (Scarabaeidae), but occasionally they are included in the Cetoniidae as tribe Trichiini. The conspicuous bee beetles (''Trichius'') are probably the best-known genus in Europe. They vary in size from 6 to 65 mm () and can be distinguished from the Cetoniidae by having covered epimeres, and lateral edges of the elytra which are not trimmed. The adults feed on sugar-rich secretions of stems, leaves, fruits and flowers of different plants. Most larvae develop in rotten wood. ==Selected taxa== * ''Dialithus'' Parry, 1849 * ''Epitrichius'' * ''Giesbertiolus'' Howden, 1988 * ''Gnorimella'' * ''Gnorimus'' Le Peletier & Serville, 1828 * * ''Gnorimus nobilis'' – Noble Chafer * ''Inca'' * ''Lasiotrichius'' * ''Osmoderma'' * ''Paratrichius'' * ''Platygeniops'' Krikken, 1978 * ''Trichiotinus'' * * ''Trichiotinus piger'' – Hairy Flower Chafer, Bee-like Flower Scarab * ''Trichius'' – bee beetles * ''Trigonopeltastes'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trichiinae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
