Anomioserica maesi is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in southern India (Nilgiri Hills). [2]
Adults reach a length of about 3.6 mm. They have a dark brown, oval body, the head and pronotum with a greenish shine. The sides of the pronotum are lighter and the legs and elytra are yellowish brown, the latter with black margins and a dark long lateral spot. The dorsal surface is dull and glabrous, except for some white setae on the head and elytra. [2]
The species is named for Jean Michel Maes, who provided the specimens to the authors. [2]
