"Phyllophaga nebulosa" is a species of june beetle endemic to Jones Lake State Park in

The generic name "Phyllophaga" comes from the Greek words phyllon (φυλλον), which means "leaf", and phagos(φαγος), which means "eater", with a feminine ending. The specific name, "nebulosa", comes from the Latin "nebul," which means mist. This beetle is a member of the "Phyllophaga fraterna" species complex and is distinguishable from the other members by its distinctive genitalia in both the male and female specimens.
