SUBFAMILY MELOLONTHINAE<br />
TRIBE MELOLONTHINI<br />
Phyllophaga Harris 1826: 6; subgenus<br />
Cnemarachis Saylor 1942: 159 (=Ancyl<strong>on</strong>ycha<br />
Blanchard 1845).<br />
This genus probably has <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> greatest impact <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
any beetle <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Cuba</str<strong>on</strong>g>n agriculture. The adults feed<br />
<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> leaves <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> many plants, <strong>and</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> larvae feed in<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> soil <strong>on</strong> plant roots (Fern<strong>and</strong>ez Garcia 1998).<br />
Chapin (1932) gives a key to species known at that<br />
time (see Garcia Vidal, 1975), <strong>and</strong> Muslera Ramos<br />
<strong>and</strong> Fern<strong>and</strong>ez Garcia (1998) provide a summary<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Cuba</str<strong>on</strong>g>n fauna; see also Woodruff <strong>and</strong> Beck<br />
