Hoplia hirta
Hoplia hirta is a scarab beetle species in the family Scarabaeidae, described by LeConte in 1880. It is distributed in the western United States, with records from California, Nevada, and Oregon. Like other members of the genus Hoplia, it is likely associated with flowering plants as an adult, though specific ecological details for this species remain poorly documented. The species name 'hirta' refers to hairy or bristly characteristics, presumably of the adult beetle's body surface.
