Remarks: Anomala chloropus seems to be a very widespread species in Southeast Asia with a distribution range extending from northeastern India ( CHANDRA & GUPTA 2012) to southern Vietnam, from which the subspecies codorensis PROKOFIEV, 1915 was described (Con Dao Island). Here, we report the nominate subspecies from Laos, Thailand and Vietnam for the first time. Whether or not the very similar species A. dentifera LIN, 2002 from southeastern China is really a different taxon is not yet clear and requires additional study.
