Horia (beetle)

Horia is a genus of beetles in the family Meloidae.

They are placed in a tribe Horiini which includes two other genera Synhoria and Cissites.

[1] Some species in the genus live in the brood colonies of Xylocopa bees.

[2] Horia maculata was introduced to Hawaii to control Xylocopa but the beetles did not establish a stable population.
