Hilyotrogus setipennis is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.[1] It is found in China.[2]
Description
Adults reach a length of about 18 mm (0.71 in). They may be distinguished by the pubescence and setae on the upper surface. The colouration is reddish-brown, with the head and pronotum somewhat darker. The head is rather densely punctate and covered with yellow hairs. The punctation of the pronotum is moderately dense, each puncture bearing a protruding yellow hair. The scutellum, elytra, and pygidium are punctate a little more sparsely than the pronotum and the short hairs of the punctures are bristle-like. The thorax is densely covered with yellow hairs, the abdomen finely and sparsely punctate, each puncture equally bearing a small bristle.[3]
