Serica latesquamata is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. [1] It is found in Vietnam. [2] [3]
Adults reach a length of about 7.7–8.2 mm. They have a dark reddish-brown, partially shimmering dark green, elongate-oval body. The antennae and legs are yellowish-brown. The surface is entirely dull, except for the shiny labroclypeus. The upper surface has dense, fine, white scale-like hairs as well as individual, erect, long, white scale-like setae. [3]
The species name is derived from Latin latus (meaning broad) and squamata (meaning scaly). [3]
