Gynaecoserica exilis is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. [1] It is found in India (Arunachal Pradesh). [2] [3]
Adults reach a length of about 5.5–5.8 mm. They have an oblong body. The dorsal surface is yellowish brown with numerous small dark brown dots on the pronotum and elytra. There is a large blackish spot on each elytron, and the frons and pronotum have a greenish iridescent shine. The antennae and legs are yellowish brown. The dorsal surface is dull and sparsely setose.

The species name is derived from Latin exilis (meaning small or meagre) and refers to the very short parameres. [3]
