May Beetles or June Bugs.—Important economic species are the leaf-eating species. These are species of the genus Lachnosterna—Lachnosterna fusca in particular. These are known as May beetles or June bugs. They are distributed all through the country. There are perhaps twenty-five or thirty common species which occur in great abundance about the same time of the year, but these differ in minute characters of genitalia. They were formerly all grouped.
