<div dir="ltr">Dear Colleagues:<div><br></div><div>Attached you will find a photo of two beetles consuming a camellia flower (Yunnan Province, 10/2007). They look like the big, flower-eating scarabaeids one sees on Myrtaceae flowers in Australia. Does anyone want to attach a genus name to these insects? Dr Ren's request for an identification to species seems unlikely, at this point</div>
