Kubousa elegans is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in South Africa (Cape).
Adults reach a length of about . Males are black, with the tarsi rufescent, covered on the upper side with small and dense but not quite contiguous greyish white slightly hair-like scales, and on the pygidial part and abdomen with thicker and broader silvery-white ones. The scales on the elytra are denser than on the pronotum, but not quite contiguous. The elytra are very faintly costulate on each side, and they have a distinct longitudinal basal impression along the humeral callus. Females are similar to males in size, shape, and vestiture, but the scales are a little more flavescent, and those on the pygidium a little more hair-like.
