Heteronyx sloanei is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.[1] It is found in Australia (Australian Capital Territory, Victoria).[2][3]
Description
Adults reach a length of about 8–9.5 mm (0.31–0.37 in). They are very similar to Heteronyx glabratus, but may be distinguished by the more transverse pronotum and the pale, membranous apical margins of the elytra.[3]
