Neoserica tessellataNeoserica tessellata is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in South Africa and Zimbabwe.DescriptionAdults reach a length of about 7.5-9 mm. They are light chestnut, slightly metallic, either lightly infuscate on the head and the central part of the prothorax and with equi-distant fuscous patches forming a tessellation on the plainly convex costae of the elytra, or so much suffused with a fuscous tinge that the tessellation is quite obliterated. The surface has a very short, squamiform hair on each puncture. The antennae are rufescent.
