Hyposerica brunneipennis is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.[1] It is found in Madagascar.[2][3]
Description
Adults reach a length of about 10 mm. They are similar to Hyposerica micans, but the elytra are lighter brown. They are tomentose on the upper surface, but have a rather strong silky sheen. The head is strongly punctate and the antennae are reddish-yellow. The pronotum is rather densely punctate and the elytra also have fairly dense punctation. These punctures are covered with tiny setae and each elytron has four smooth ridges.[3]
