Serica horrida is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.[1] It is found in Laos.[2][3]
Description
Adults reach a length of about 7.6–8.2 mm. They have a dark reddish-brown, elongate-oval body, partly with a metallic green sheen. The antennae and legs are brown. The surface is entirely dull, except for the shiny labroclypeus. The upper surface has dense, fine, almost evenly distributed white scale-like hairs as well as individual, erect, long, white scale-like setae.[3]
Etymology
The species name is derived from Latin horridus (meaning rough).[3]
