Onitis visthara is a species of dung beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It is only known from its type locality in the outskirts of Bengaluru in Karnataka state of India.
Etymology
In this species, the measurements of the pronotal and elytral measurements are almost the same as each other, giving it a broader rectangular appearance, as compared with other species, thus the name visthara which means 'expanse' in Sanskrit.
