Abstract

A total of 48 specimens of Euphoria (Coleoptera: Cetoniinae) were collected, represented by a single specimen of E. biguttata, and 47 specimens E. subtomentosa. We report for the first time these two beetles (Melolonthidae) feeding on flowers of Tagetes patula (Asteraceae). Additionally, this is the first time the species were observed in Sola de Vega, Oaxaca State, Mexico.
