Anomalini is a tribe of shining leaf chafers in the family Scarabaeidae. They are commonly known as shining leaf chafers due to their often bright, metallic colors and glossy appearance. dult Anomalini beetles are mostly herbivorous, feeding on leaves, flowers, and fruits, which sometimes makes them agricultural pests. The larvae, commonly known as white grubs, develop underground and feed on plant roots, which can also lead to crop damage.
