In this paper observations on thebehaviour and the predators of the two rose chaffer beetles, Eupoecilaaustralasiae (Don) and Diaphoniadorsalis (Don), are reported. Descrip-tions of the mature larvae of the twobeetles are also presented. Distribution The two species occur in the coastalregion from Queensland to the SouthAustralian border.
