Stethaspis is a genus of beetles in the family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Melolonthinae.

[1] Like other Melolonthinae, adult Stethaspis are oval and robust in shape.

Stethaspis are green in colour and range from 13 to 24 mm in length.

[2] Larvae are creamy white with a prominent head, relatively large legs and a darkened posterior end (this darkening is due to the gut contents showing through the body wall).

[4] Stethaspis follow the usual beetle life cycle of egg, larva, pupa and adult.
