Moronoserica ginae is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. [1] It is found in Laos. [2] [3]
Adults reach a length of about 7 mm. They have a brown, oval body. The striae of the elytra and the scutellum are yellowish brown, while the frons and pronotum are dark brown with a greenish shine. The dorsal surface is dull (but the labroclypeus is shiny) and almost evenly and moderately densely covered with minute setae, with white, robust, erect setae on the elytra. [3]
The species name is derived from the name of the dog of one of the authors, Gina. [3]
