Euphoresia rothkirchi is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.[1] It is found in Cameroon.[2][3]
Description
Adults reach a length of about 6 mm. They are brown and sull, with white bristle-like scales. The frons is dull, extensively covered with scales and next to the eyes is a ring of scales. The pronotum is quite extensively covered in the middle with fine narrow scales, on the sides of the pronotum the scales are a little stronger and more dense. Three middle longitudinal bands are darker and scale-free. The scutellum is scaled except in the middle. The elytra are striated, with the intervals weakly convex. They are quite sparsely covered with tiny, bristle-like scales, some of which are larger. Dark, scaleless patches are found in the spaces between them.[3]
