Ablaberoides flavipennis is a species of beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo) and Zimbabwe.[1]
Description
Adults reach a length of about 4.25-5.5 mm. They are very similar to Ablaberoides testaceus, and can be distinguished only with difficulty. The colour, however, differs in being dark bronze with the elytra testaceous-red but retaining a black suture and an outer marginal infuscate band, or being uniformly dark chestnut-brown.[3]
