Schizonycha meinhardti is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.[1] It is found in Tanzania.[2]
Description
Adults reach a length of about 13 mm (0.51 in). They have a narrow, cylindrical body. The clypeus and frons are lightly punctate. The pronotum is covered with coarse punctures here. The sides of the pronotum are almost straight. The elytra are densely and slightly wrinkledly punctate, with short white setae, which are also found on the pronotum. The fine granular punctation is most pronounced on the pygidium.[3]
