Neoserica parursina is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. [1] It is found in China (Shandong). [2] [3]
Adults reach a length of about 6.5-7.6 mm. They have a reddish brown, oval body. Most of the upper surface has a greenish sheen. They are mostly dull with dense light hairs, interspersed with dense, long, strong, dark hairs. The underside is densely haired. [3]
The name of the species is derived from the Greek prefix para and the Latin word ursinus (meaning bear-like) and refers to the dense hairs. [3]
