Notes - The shape of the posterior pronotal angle in this group is of little diagnostic value, the lateral margin and posterior angles of pronotum being quite variable. Due to highly similar genitalia (KOBAYASHI & Yu 1993: 358), Pachyserica nantouensis KOBAYASHI et Yu, Pachyserica similis KOBAYASHI et YU, and Pachyserica striatipennis MOSER (sensu KOBAYASHI & YU 1993) must be considered as a single species. The true Pachyserica striatipennis MOSER, 1908, described from northern Vietnam, is very distinct from that of KOBAYASHI & Yu (1993: 358, fig 2 (5)), having a larger body size, and more oval body shape. Pachyserica horishana (NlJIMA et KlNOSHITA) Serica horishana NlJIMA et KlNOSHITA, 1927: 3, 78. Pachyserica horishana (NlJIMA et KlNOSHITA): KOBAYASHI & YU 1993: 355.
