around the world, even known to cause crop failures at times. As do other blister beetles, these produce cantharidin, a toxic terpenoid which can kill animals such as horses if they ingest enough of the beetles. This is one of the largest blister beetle genera, with about 360 described species as of 2011.Campos-Soldini, M. P. and S. A. Roig-Juñent. (2011)
