Neoserica flavorufa is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. [1] It is found in Indonesia (Kalimantan). [2] [3]

Description

Adults reach a length of about 8.5 mm. They are yellowish-brown and shiny. The head is widely covered with faint punctures, with a few setae beside the eyes. The pronotum is moderately densely punctured and the elytra are weakly furrowed, the furrows with irregular rows of punctures. The intervals have only scattered punctures and appear, particularly towards the sides of the elytra, as flat, smooth ridges. [3]
