Description
''Paragymnopleurus'' are medium-sized, powerful scarab beetles, often black with a metallic lustre. The head is broad and shovel-shaped, the body short and broad. The pronotum is at least as wide as the elytra, which lack dotted stripes. The legs are powerful, with large teeth on the outsides. The forelegs have tarsi which are very short and slender. The body surface often seems somewhat rough or dented, and many species have patterns of hair-like scales.Species
