I am not a beetle expert, but I know these Scarabeid beetles by the genus name Anomala. I expect that a coleopterist can give a better identification.

Greetings,
Your beetle is definitely a scarab in the Rutelinae, and I'd be inclined to agree with Adam that it is likely a species of Anomala. However, there are a number of very closely related genera; some workers consider Anomala a single genus, while others think it is composed of several distinct genera requiring splitting out; and finally, if it is Anomala - that genus is huge with many species needing the male genitalia examined for accurate ID. No easy final answer on this one...
Cheers!
