Maladera barasingha is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.[1] It is found in India (Manipur).[2][3]
Description[edit | edit source]
Adults reach a length of about 8.6 mm. They have a dark reddish brown, oval body.[4] They are mostly dull (but the labroclypeus is shiny) and nearly glabrous, except for some single setae on the head dorsal surface.[3]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The species is named after the India swamp deer (Rucervus duvaucelii) because the aedeagus resembles the antler of this animal.[3]
