Chrysoserica auricoma is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is found along the southern face of the Himalayas from central Nepal to Sikkim and the Khasi Hills, towards Yunnan and the northern mountains of Indochina (Thailand, Laos, Vietnam). There are records from southern India, but these are probably based on misidentifications.[2][3]
