Alogistotarsa ovampoana is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. [1] It is found in Namibia. [2] [3]
Adults reach a length of about 6 mm. They are very similar to Alogistotarsa straminea , but are much more deeply punctured all over and there is no iridescence. Furthermore, they are testaceous instead of straw-coloured and the frontal part of the head is redder than the prothorax, but is not infuscate, and the striation on the elytra is deeper than in A. straminea.
