They may be divided into two main groups, the scavengers and the leaf-chafers. The larvae of all of the species are commonly called white grubs, for although they vary greatly in size and structure, they all have the same general appearance of the white grub, with its large yellow or brown head with strong mandibles, long legs, thick, whitish.
