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.[1]
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.[1]
