Abstract

Anomala xiongi Wang & Zorn spec. nov. is described from Yunnan, China. This new species can be distinguished from all other known Anomala species by conspicuous long erect setae rising from the primary costae of elytra. Additionally, ten new distributional records of Anomala species from China and neighboring countries are provided.
