see text Anomala is a genus of shining leaf chafers in the family of beetles known as Scarabaeidae.

[1][2][3][4] A common characteristic behavior of beetles in Anomala is that most grubs of these species feed on the roots of grasses, becoming a pest in many areas where they invade.

One notable species is the Oriental beetle (Anomala orientalis), which was introduced to North America and has since become a major pest in several mid-Atlantic states.
