DESCRIPTION. Male, holotype ( Figs 1–12 ). Length: 11.2 mm, width: 8.3 mm. Body elongate ovoid, moderately convex in profile. Head (except antenna), pronotum, scutellum,

legs, and ventral surface deep metallic green with bronze reflections in different angles, apex of protibial without green color; antennal club yellowish brown, footstalk blackish brown.

Head. Clypeus subtrapezoidal, 0.5 times as long as wide, board rounded, anterior margin strongly reflexed, surface with coarse and reticulate punctures; fronto-clypeal suture complete;

frons with deeply and reticulately punctate on apical half, punctures adjacent to each other,

partly coalescing and forming small transverse striae, with several hairs; interocular distance equals 0.67 times the maximum transverse head width; vertex with dense punctures, sparer in the middle; antennal club longer than footstalks.

Pronotum 1.8 times as wide as long, sides convergent in the middle, posterior 1/2 straight;

anterior marginal line nearly completely, posterior marginal line weak in median 1/3, posterior margin broaden in middle, with sparse microscopic punctures; anterior angles and posterior angles acute; disc with densely, largely, and deeply transverse punctures, several punctures coalescent, gradually becoming smaller rugoso-punctate or microgroove to the side and angles,

a small area around scutellum with largely transverse punctures which are adjacent to each other or integrate into transverse striolation; disc with a distinct longitudinal median line in the middle, striate densely microscopic punctate.

Scutellum 1.5 times as wide as long, apex well rounded; surface densely transverse punctate, punctures partly coalescent and rugoso-punctate, with a smooth area in the middle and lateral margins smooth.

Elytra 0.9 times as wide as long, widest in anterior 2/5; elytra regularly striate-sulcate,

striate punctures large, sometimes adjacent to each other, intervals convex, with tiny and rather spare punctures; subsutural interstice broad, gradually narrowed in posterior 1/2, with rather large and deep punctures, almost all the punctures adjacent to each other horizontally;

humeral umbones distinct and smooth, without punctures; lateral margins coarsely, epipleuron flat after humeral umbones.

29 – lateral view from left.

Propygidium. Densely with transverse punctures, deeply in the middle. Pygidium weakly convex in profile, surface densely transverse punctate, coalescing and forming small transverse striae; surface with slightly dense brown setae, apex longer. Abdominal ventrites with dense oval punctures in the middle, gradually becoming denser transverse punctures to the sides,

ventrites with yellow setae, sparer in the middle, denser at sides, setae on ventrites 1 denser.

Legs. Protibia bidentate, terminal tooth prolonged, another tooth sub-rightangle; mesotibia and metatibia clubbed, inner surface with dense yellow hair; protarsal inner claw clefted, the upper branch of the inner protarsal claw small, mesotarsal outer claw slight clefted.

Genitalia as in Figs. 7–10 .

VARIABILITY. Body length 11.0–11.9 mm, width 8.1–8.3 mm. The holotype shows no differences in the shape of the aedeagus with male paratypes from the same data, and shows slightly variations in the shape of paramere and ventral plate ( Figs 7–10, 13–16, 19–22 ) with other male paratypes from Guangxi, Fujian, and Hunan. Geographical differences of male genitalia were also reported by Prokofiev (2014) and Huang & Wang (2019) in Anomala densa Arrow, 1917 , Anomala aureoflava Arrow, 1917 , and Anomala trochanterica Arrow,

1917. Two male paratypes from Guangxi and Hunan show more bronze reflections on the pronotum, and male paratype from Fujian shows majority of brown color on elytra .

FEMALE. Length 12.2–13.9 mm, width 8.2–8.6 mm. Females paratypes are distinctly different from males in appearance at first glance as: 1) body predominantly larger than males; 2) body color reddish brown, pronotum with weakly metallic green or copper (strongly in paratypes from Sichuan), elytra obscured by greenish metallic luster (strongly in paratypes from Sichuan), legs dark reddish brown with weakly green reflections; terminal tooth of protibia rather long, apex broad rounded.

DIAGNOSIS. Anomala huangjianbini sp. n. is rather similar to A. vitalisi from Laos,

Vietnam and Yunnan (see remarks of A. vitalisi ) in appearance and male genitalia (Zorn et al., 2017), but it can be distinguished from A. vitalisi ( Figs. 28, 29 ) in males by: 1) surface of scutellum densely transverse punctate, punctures partly coalescent and rugoso-punctate

(slightly small and shallow punctures in A. vitalisi ); 2) terminal tooth of protibia gradually shrink (apex slightly widened in A. vitalisi ); 3) subsutural interstice of elytra broad, gradually narrowed in posterior 1/2, with rather large and deep punctures, almost all the punctures adjacent to each other horizontally; 4) surface of elytra general coarse at first glance; 5)

ventral plate of male genitalia with two short furcations ( Figs. 7–10 ), apex of ventral plate nearly invisible in lateral view ( Figs. 19–22 ), lateral margin of paramere bent gradually in the middle ( Figs 7–10 ), both paramere narrowed ( Figs. 13–16 ); 6) metatibia stronger. The specimens illustrated in Lin (2002: figs 25–582) should be conspecific with Anomala huangjianbini sp. n., and the distributions in Guizhou need father specimens to confirm.

HABITAT. Two female specimens of this new species were captured by author using a high net from the tall trees of Ligustrum on the Jinfoshan Mountain at altitude 1200 m.

DISTRIBUTION. China: Chongqing, Sichuan, Hunan, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi ( Fig.

30).

ETYMOLOGY. The new species is named after Jian-Bin Huang from Fujian ( China),

who provided one male paratype from Fujian province .
