Amiserica gibbosiforceps is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. [1] It is found in China (Yunnan). [2] [3]
Adults reach a length of about 7.6–8 mm. They have a reddish brown, oval body. The antennae are yellowish brown. The surface is shiny, and there are long setae, interspersed with short adpressed ones, on the head, pronotum, elytra and pygidium. [3]
The species name is derived from Latin gibbosus (meaning with tubercles) and forceps and refers on the shape of the phallobase (base of the aedeagus) having a strong tubercle. [3]
