Trochalus lamtoensis is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. [1] It is found in Ivory Coast. [2] [3]
Adults reach a length of about 8 mm. The upper and lower surfaces are reddish-brown and dull. The antennae are yellow. The clypeus and frons are shiny and the former is rather densely and finely punctate with a smooth midline. The pronotum and elytra are very strongly tomentose. A dense punctation is only very indistinctly visible on the pronotum (the elytra lack distinct punctation). [3]
