Source-derived summary

Serica bruneri is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in the United States (Colorado).

Description

Adults reach a length of about 5–7 mm. The colour is dark brown to nearly black. There are sparse, shaggy, semi-erect, light brown hairs on the upper surface.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Serica bruneri” as species of beetle. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Serica, bruneri and species.

Editorial reviewA sound reference starting point where classification, measurement and the date of the underlying evidence remain visible. The current 48-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Serica, bruneri and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Serica bruneri”, the useful work is to connect “species of beetle” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
