Odontria er en slekt av biller som har larver som eter planterøtter. De hører til underfamilien oldenborrer (Melolonthinae) i den store gruppen skarabider (Scarabaeoidea).

Utseende

Små, bunlige oldenborrer. Oversiden er fløyelsaktig og kledt med lange, oppstående hår.

Levevis

Larvene lever i jorden, utviklingen tar ett år. De voksne billene klekkes på høsten (april -mai) og har en lang aktivitetsperiode (til februar), med en dvaleperiode om vinteren. De flyr i skumringen når temperaturen er høyere enn 6-7 grader. De voksne billene gnager på planter, blant annet ulike gress og kløver.

Utbredelse

Arten lever i New Zealand.
