Maladera barasingha

Maladera barasingha is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in India (Manipur).

Description

Adults reach a length of about 8.6 mm. They have a dark reddish brown, oval body. They are mostly dull (but the labroclypeus is shiny) and nearly glabrous, except for some single setae on the head dorsal surface.

Etymology

The species is named after the India swamp deer (Rucervus duvaucelii) because the aedeagus resembles the antler of this animal.
