Maladera antispinosa

Maladera antispinosa is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in Meghalaya, a state in northeast India.

Description

Adults reach a length of about 10.6–11.1 mm. They have a dark brown, oblong-oval body. The antennae are yellowish. The upper surface is mostly dull, with numerous long setae on the head, pronotum and elytra

Etymology

The species name refers to its high similarity to Maladera subspinosa, but with the presence of antisymmetric parameres. It is thus derived from the combined Latin words anti- (meaning against) and spinosus (meaning with spines).
