Serica gongtonggouensis is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. [1] It is found in China (Guizhou). [2] [3]
Adults reach a length of about 8.8–9.4 mm. They have a dark brown, oblong body, with the head even darker. The legs are reddish brown, the antennae yellow and the elytra have large, dark spots (while the punctures on the elytra are lighter).
