Serica horrida is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. [1] It is found in Laos. [2] [3]
Adults reach a length of about 7.6-8.2 mm. They have a dark reddish-brown, elongate-oval body, partly with a metallic green sheen. The antennae and legs are brown. The surface is entirely dull, except for the shiny labroclypeus. The upper surface has dense, fine, almost evenly distributed white scale-like hairs as well as individual, erect, long, white scale-like setae. [3]
The species name is derived from Latin horridus (meaning rough). [3]
