Euphoria schottii is a flower scarab beetle in the family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Cetoniinae. The genus Euphoria contains colorful species commonly known as flower chafers or bumble flower beetles, many of which exhibit Batesian mimicry of bees and wasps. Euphoria schottii is one of ten Euphoria species recorded from Arizona, where it occurs in association with agave plants. The species was described by Schott and is part of a genus whose taxonomy has undergone recent revision, with several former subspecies of E. fulgida elevated to full species status.
