Neoserica lucidula is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.[1] It is found in south-eastern Africa and Zimbabwe.[2][3]
Description
Adults reach a length of about 6–9 mm. The shape and colouring are identical to that of L. mashona, but the tessellate denuded patches on the elytra are not so dark in the light-coloured specimens, and therefore not so conspicuous. [3]
