Moronoserica thungyai is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. [1] It is found in Thailand. [2] [3]
Adults reach a length of about 4.4 mm. They have a brown, oval body. The elytra are yellow with numerous dark spots and the frons, pronotum and spots on the elytra have a greenish shine. The dorsal surface is dull and partly iridescent. The pronotum and elytra are partly moderately densely covered with white, robust, scale-like setae. [3]
The species name is derived from the type locality, the Thung Yai Wildlife Sanctuary. [3]
