Phyllotocidium pictum is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.[1] It is found in Australia (Western Australia).[2][3]
Description
Adults reach a length of about 5–5.25 mm (0.197–0.207 in). The head (except for the black labrum), pronotum (except for the narrowly flavous margins) and scutellum are dark metallic-green, while the elytra are flavous, with the suture, margins, base (narrowly) and apex purplish. The underside and pygidium are black, with a purplish gloss. The antennae, palpi and legs (although the tibiae are more or less green) are flavous. The underside and legs have rather long white or whitish hairs, and a few similar hairs are found on the sides of the pronotum and elytra.[3]
