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

duced and sharp, anterior margin straight and with a fine marginal line medially; surface shiny, on basal half medially dull, very densely and finely punctate, with microscopic hairs in the punctures; anterior and lateral border densely setaceous. Scutellum slender, triangular, dull and fine, moderately dense punctures, with microscopic hairs in the punctures. Elytra oblong, widest behind middle, striae indistinctly impressed, finely and densely punctate, even intervals flat, odd ones weakly convex, with fine and moderately dense punctures, on odd intervals concentrated along striae, odd intervals with a few fine and long hairs, punctures partly microscopicly hairy; epipleural edge robust, ending at the strongly curved external apical angle of elytra, epipleura densely setaceous, apical border chitinous, with short microtrichomes. Ventral surface dull, with very large and dense punctures, sparsely hairy, metacoxal plates laterally with numerous long hairs; each abdominal sternite with a transversal row of coarse punctures bearing short hairs between fine and dense punctation, penultimate sternite apically with only very narrow smooth chitinous border, not a quarter as long as sternite. Mesosternum between mesocoxae as wide as mesofemur. Ratio of length of metepisternum/ metacoxa: 1/1.5. Pygidium strongly convex, dull, coarsely and densely punctate, without smooth midline, with dense and long hairs, punctures partly with microscopic setae. Legs moderately slender; femora with two longitudinal rows of hairs, coarsely and moderately densely punctate; metafemur shiny, sharply edged anteriorly, immediately beside anterior edge with a continuously serrated line, behind posterior longitudinal row of hairs punctation denser, punctures with microscopic hairs, posterior margin slightly concave, neither dorsally nor ventrally serrated, without longer hairs. Metatibia very broad and short, widest before apex, ratio of width/length: 1/ 2.36, dorsally sharply edged, with two groups of spines, basal one slightly behind middle, apical one at 4/5 of metatibial length, in basal third beside dorsal edge with a continuously serrated line, ending at 4/5 of metatibial length, in apical half line very close to dorsal edge, basally along the line with three single hairs; outside weakly longitudinally convex, with moderately dense, large superficial punctures, bearing long yellow hairs; ventral edge with four strong spines equidistant from each other, inside completely smooth and glabrous, apex interiorly near tarsal articulation shallowly concavely sinuate. Tarsal segments dorsally impunctate, with sparse, short setae ventrally; metatarsal segments ventrally with a strongly serrated ridge, first metatarsomere distinctly shorter than the two following segments combined and only slightly longer than the upper tibial spur. Protibia short, bidentate, external teeth small, all claws symmetrical, strongly curved and moderately long. Aedeagus: Figs 20-23. Notes - This species is very similar to E. latitibia (NOMURA), differing primarily in the shape of parameres and by the pronotum being less extensively dull. Eumaladera fushanica sp. n.
