Hyposerica luridipennis is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. [1] It is found in Madagascar. [2] [3]
Adults reach a length of about 7 mm. They are shiny and yellow, while the head, pronotum and scutellum are reddish-yellow. The frons is sparsely punctate behind the suture and the antennae are reddish-yellow. The pronotum is fairly widely spaced and finely punctate, with a few setae laterally along the anterior margin.
