Maladera crenolatipes is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. [1] It is found in China (Hunan). [2] [3]
Adults reach a length of about 6.4–7.7 mm. They have a dark brown, oval body. The antennae are yellow. The labroclypeus is shiny, but the remainder of the dorsal surface is dull and, except for a few small setae on the head and elytra, glabrous. [3]
The species name is derived from Latin crenatus (meaning serrate), latus (meaning side) and pes (meaning feet) and refers to the longitudinal serrated line on the metatibia. [3]
