Schizonycha laticia is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.[1] It is found in South Africa (Western Cape, Eastern Cape).[2][3]
Description
Adults reach a length of about 14.5–16 mm (0.57–0.63 in). They are very similar to Schizonycha ciliata, but the median longitudinal clypeal carina is much shorter and the anterior border of the pronotum is less strongly sinuate laterally.[3]
