Hybocamenta modesta is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.[1] It is found in South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal).[2][3]
Description
Adults reach a length of about 14-14.5 mm. They resemble Eucamenta castanea (but are slightly smaller) and Camenta innocua, but the shape of the antennal club of the male of H. modesta is diffent: the moderately long antennal club consists of six laminate joints of nearly equal length, and the fourth joint of the pedicel is plainly compressed and aculeate.[3]
