Euphoresia albosparsa is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.[1] It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[2][3]
Description
Adults reach a length of about 12 mm. The upper surface (except for the brown, glossy clypeus) is dirty olive-green and dull. The clypeus is strongly punctate. The punctures bear erect setae in the anterior part, and white scales are present before the clypeus suture. Apart from a ring of white scales next to the eyes, the frons shows only a few scattered scales. The pronotum is also very sparsely covered with white scales, which are almost entirely absent in the middle. The elytra are evenly ribbed and white-speckled.[3]
