Calloserica tigrina is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.^[1] It is found in India (Sikkim, West Bengal).^[2]^[3]

Description

Adults reach a length of about 9–10 mm. The frons and vertex are so densely pruinose that the punctures are not visible. Between the dense, short, forward-pointing hairs are some longer hairs and small scales. The elytra are yellowish-brown, darkly streaked with alternating narrow and wider stripes, which are surrounded by scale-like patches formed from very fine white scales.^[3]
