Description
Adults reach a length of about 11 mm. They are very similar to Neoserica borneensis, but easily recognizable by its smooth, shiny hind femora and shortened hind coxae. Furthermore, the posterior margin of the pronotum is more distinctly projecting in the middle, and the setae on the segments are very sharply granular and prominent. The hind femora lack the finer punctation on the anterior margin.[3]
