Source-derived summary

Neoserica rufobrunnea is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in Indonesia (Sumatra).

Description

Adults reach a length of about 6.5 mm. The frons is widely punctate behind the indistinct suture, further posteriorly, smooth and glossy like the vertex. The thorax is not very densely punctate, the punctures only slightly more pronounced than on the head. The center of the scutellum is broadly smooth. The elytra are punctate. The punctures form streaks, but not uniformly so. The spaces between them are raised, the sides densely covered with short setae.

Editorial summary

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

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current 93-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 Neoserica, rufobrunnea 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 “Neoserica rufobrunnea”, the useful work is to connect “species of beetle” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q14861449. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

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.

How to read it
