Result of this work will create a means of reliable identification of all of the species, a substantial database, and will resolve the disparate classifications that are currently used. Species of New World Gymnetini are distributed from the southern United States to southern South America. They are associated with low and mid-elevation tropical forests and are also found in banana, cacao, and coffee plantations. Some species have been observed feeding on a wide variety of flowers, fruits, and plant saps, but they have not been associated with crop damage.
Adults are diurnal and can be attracted to fruit traps.
Although nothing is known of the biology of Blaesia species, they possess characters that are similar to termitophilous beetles. Coleopterists Bulletin . Ratcliffe, B. C. 1978. Ratcliffe, B. C. and C. Deloya. The Cetoniine Beetles of the World by K. Sakai and S. Nagai.
