Neoserica inclinata Brenske, 1898

Neoserica inclinata is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. ^[1] It is found in Cambodia and Vietnam. ^{[2] [3]}

Taxonomy

The specimen preserved in the Zoologisches Museum der Humboldt-Universität (ZHMB) is a female and not a male as stated by Brenske when he described the species in 1898. Furthermore, its genitalia are strongly damaged, and therefore an assignment to Neoserica abnormis or any of the other recognised species in the Neoserica abnormis species group is not possible. This species very likely belongs to the Neoserica abnormis group as well. ^[3]
