Oxythyrea is a genus of Palaearctic and African chafer beetles,[1] erected by Étienne Mulsant in 1842.[2]

Description

[edit]

Members are typically about 10–15 mm in size, and are usually black with white dots or lines on the thorax, elytra, and abdomen; each species has its own distinctive pattern. Oxythyrea are active during the day, and are often found feeding on flowers.
