Euphoresia maculipennis is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. [1] It is found in Angola. [2] [3]
Adults reach a length of about 5.5–6 mm. They have an egg-shaped body. The head is coppery at the front, strongly punctate, with a narrow, evenly upturned margin, scarcely indented at the front. The back of the head is green, less glossy and finely sparsely punctate. The pronotum is green, but yellowish-red at the lateral and posterior margins, somewhat iridescent and widely punctate. Each puncture has a very small yellowish scale. The scutellum is densely scaled except along the median line. The elytra are yellowish-red, with a slight iridescence, either uniformly coloured or with elongated dark green spots on the convex intervals, sparsely punctate with scales. The underside is blackish-green, dull and densely and finely punctate. The scales within the punctures are very small. [3]
