Miridiba is a genus of beetles in the family Scarabaeidae, which are known for their white larvae that feed on the roots of plants. The antennae end in a short club (shorter than the basal stalk). The mandible has a wrinkled molar lobe and the incisor lobe is depressed above. The labrum is depressed in the middle. Species within this genus are found in the Old World, mainly in eastern and tropical Asia. Many species in the genus were earlier placed in the genus Holotrichia.[1]
