Euserica cobosi is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.[1] It is found in Morocco.[2][3]

Adults reach a length of about 8 mm. They are very similar to Euserica alcaidei, but the head is very narrowed anteriorly, the anterior margin with a strong triangular incision. The pronotum is more transverse, much less narrowed anteriorly, with the sides very straight and parallel, and not narrowed posteriorly. The punctation slightly stronger and denser.[3]
