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

margin almost straight, neither dorsally nor ventrally serrated, without longer hairs. Metatibia broad and moderately long, widest at apex, ratio of width/length: 1/2.5, sharply edged dorsally, with two groups of spines, basal one slightly behind middle, apical one at 4/5 of metatibial length, with a continuously serrated line beside dorsal edge, ending at 4/5 of metatibial length, with three single hairs basally along the line; outside weakly longitudinally convex, with moderately dense, large superficial punctures, some punctures bearing long yellow hairs, others with microscopic setae; 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, ventrally with sparse, short setae; metatarsal segments ventrally with a strongly serrated ridge, first metatarsomere distinctly shorter than the two following segments combined and about one-fourth longer than the upper tibial spur. Protibia short, bidentate, external teeth small, all claws symmetrical, strongly curved and moderately long. Aedeagus: Figs 28-30. Notes - This species is very similar to Eumaladera planiuscula (NOMURA) and it is impossible to distinguish them by external features. Eumaladera puliensis sp. n. may be separated from Eumaladera planiuscula (NOMURA) only by the shape of the parameres. Figs 28-30. Eumaladera puliensis sp. n.
