Description (n = 2,754). Length 9.2–13.5 mm; width 5.5–8.3 mm. Color: Surface shiny, dark brown to black with variable green or violaceous reflections. Pronotum frequently with whitish, cretaceous band on lateral margin. Elytra with small to moderate, reniform, vermiform, or irregular, cretaceous markings; markings whitish to yellowish. Mesepimera, metasternum, metacoxae, and sides of abdominal sternites frequently with whitish, cretaceous markings. Pygidium variably covered by tomentum, cretaceous markings frequently on anterolateral margins. Head: Frons densely punctate; punctures moderate in size, round, deeply impressed, at times coalescent; sparsely to densely setose; setae moderate to long, whitish to yellowish. Clypeal surface densely to moderately densely punctate to punctatostrigate; punctures moderate in size, round, coalescent, glabrous to moderately densely setose; setae yellowish to whitish, short to long; subquadrate, lateral margins weakly to moderately raised, lateral declivity moderately to strongly developed, apex vaguely to weakly reflexed, truncate in dorsal view, vaguely to weakly sinuate in frontal view. Antennal club in males slightly shorter than stem, much shorter in females. Pronotum: Surface moderately densely to densely punctate; punctures round to lunulate, moderate in size, denser and confluent towards apex and sides, sparsely to densely setose; setae short to moderate, yellowish to whitish. Scutellum longer than wide, sparsely to densely punctate. Base in front of scutellum moderately to strongly emarginate. Elytra: Surface densely punctate; punctures lunulate and irregular, moderate in size, striae frequently with 3–4 rows of punctures and grooves, costae well defined, frequently punctate. Posterior half of sutural costa raised in lateral view. Surface glabrous to moderately densely setose; setae minute to short, whitish to yellowish. Legs: Protibial teeth well developed, apical tooth oblique, apical and medial teeth closer to each than to basal tooth. Metatibial carina moderately developed. Metatibiae vaguely to weakly expanded apically, internal metatibial spur slightly thicker in females. Venter: Mesometasternal process extended well beyond mesocoxae, process glabrous on mesosternal lobe, apex rounded, flat, or slightly pointed. Mesepimera, metasternum, and metacoxae setose, setae as on legs. Metasternum rugose, setose laterally, glabrous, impunctate at middle. Median sulcus vague to weakly evident. Abdominal sternites densely punctate; punctures small, bearing setae; sparsely setose laterally, glabrous to sparsely setose medially; setae distributed along entire width of segment, moderate to long, whitish to yellowish. Pygidium: Subconcentrically striate, striae discontinuous, deeply to shallowly impressed; glabrous to moderately densely setose, setae short to moderate, whitish to yellowish; apex frequently rounded in males, moderately pointed in females. Male genitalia: Parameres as in Fig. 13c.
Diagnosis. Euphoria sepulcralis is separated from the other species in the group based on the length of the antennal club being shorter than stem in both sexes, weakly raised apex of the clypeus, pronotum densely punctate, and form of the parameres. This species is highly variable in color (dark brown to black with variable green or violaceous reflections) and the extent of the pronotal cretaceous markings.
Notes. Euphoria sepulcralis is frequently dark violaceous in Texas and northwestern Mexico (Fig. 13e). This morphotype was previously known as E. sepulcralis nitens Casey, 1915. Other than the different color, generally larger body size, and distribution, I cannot find any other character to justify this subspecies. Dark violaceous specimens are rare outside of Texas, but are nevertheless present. This is another example of a North American species that exhibits a darker color form in Texas populations (together with E. fulgida and E. kernii). The cause of this phenomenon is unknown to me. Specimens from Florida and the Cayman Islands were observed to be more coarsely punctate.
Taxonomic History. Fabricius (1801) described E. sepulcralis in Cetonia. Gory and Percheron (1833) described Cetonia reichi based on specimens from Mexico. Janson (1881) described a dark, mislabeled specimen from Guatemala as E. limatula. Casey described E. nitens, E. appalachia, E. scolopacea, E. oxysternum and four subspecies from the United States based primarily on coloration, body size, and geographic locality. Based on the study of 2,754 specimens, including the types, I place E. limatula and E. nitens in synonymy with E. sepulcralis.
The misspelled version of the name “ E. sepulchralis ” was apparently used for the first time by Gory and Percheron (1833). The name was subsequently used by Blanchard (1850), Lacordaire (1856), Casey (1915), and other authors. The correct version of the name (E. sepulcralis) was used by Burmeister (1842), Harold (1869), Horn (1880), and Schenkling (1921).

In addition, adults have been found feeding on honey in bee hives, in bromeliads, and in millet (Thomas 1998). In a few instances, individuals were numerous enough to be considered pests in corn, onions, and other crops by homeowners (Halbert 1996).
Adults have been attracted to baited and unbaited pitfall traps, sugar bait traps, fruit fly traps, Japanese beetle traps, molasses traps, flight intercept traps, sticky traps, and light traps. Landolt (1990) found adults were attracted to isopropyl alcohol, and Cherry and Klein (1992) found them attracted to various aromatic compounds. Habitats include deciduous forest, prairies, pine-oak forest, and sand flats.
In temperate climates, the overwintering stage is the adult, emerging in the summer or fall and flying again the following spring (Hayes 1925; Ritcher 1945; Ratcliffe 1991; Ratcliffe and Paulsen 2008). Adults were observed to be thanatotic when disturbed (Ratcliffe and Paulsen 2008).
Adults have been observed burrowing in cow manure, possibly looking for a place to oviposit. Hayes (1925) studied the life cycle of the species and described the eggs. The larval stage was found to last between 53–79 days and the pupal stage between 9–23 days. The larval stage was described by Ritcher (1945, 1966). Larvae have been found beneath dead sod or manure (Ritcher 1945), sandy soil containing oak roots and decaying oak leaves, nests of Geomys bursarius (Shaw), and feeding on roots of Paspalum vaginatum Swartz. (Poaceae) on a golf course (Buss 2004).
