The Trichiini are a tribe of the scarab beetle family (Scarabaeidae), though historically they were often classified as a subfamily, Trichiinae. In Europe, the conspicuous bee beetles (Trichius) are probably the best-known genus of the tribe.
They vary in size from 6 to 65 mm and can be distinguished from Cetoniini by having covered epimeres, and lateral edges of the elytra which are not trimmed.
