Ahrens, D.: Notes on distribution and synonymy of sericid beetles of Taiwan, with descriptions of new species (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea: Melolonthidae)

a strongly serrated ridge, dorsally strongly longitudinally grooved and rugose, first metatarsomere distinctly shorter than the two following segments combined and more than one-third longer than the upper tibial spur. Protibia long, bidentate, external edge behind middle bluntly widened, protarsal claws symmetrical, normally developed. Aedeagus: Figs 4-6. Notes - In females, the anterior angles of the pronotum are less strongly rounded. The male genital morphology is rather similar to that of T. niitakana (SAWADA), but the parameres differ significantly in shape. Externally, Taiwano­serica chunlinlii sp. n. can be distinguished from T. niitakana (SAWADA) by broadly rounded posterior angles of pronotum, the 10-segmented antenna with a longer club in male, as well as the densely setose frons. Derivatio nominis - The species is dedicated to its collector, the authority of Melolonthinae, CHUN-LIN LI (University of Taipei).
