Serica ventrituberculata is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in China (Guangxi, Sichuan). [1] [2]
Adults reach a length of about 8.1–10 mm. They have a dark reddish brown, elongate eggshaped body, partly with a greenish shine. The elytra have dark spots, the antennae are yellowish and the legs are brown. The dorsal surface is dull and densely covered with short yellow setae. [2]
The species name is derived from Latin ventris (meaning venter) and tuberculatus (having tubercles) and refers to the two ventral tubercles of the phallobase. [2]
