Triodontella lateristria is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae.[1] It is found in Turkey.[2][3]

Description

Adults reach a length of about 5.5-6 mm. The head has very strong and dense punctation, which is slightly more spaced on the frons. The pronotum has rather fine, sparse punctation, which becomes denser towards the base and there are long cilia on the lateral and anterior margins. The punctuation on the elytra is strong, dense and somewhat indistinct and the striae and interstriae are barely visible.[3]
