Treatment

Distribution: China, Laos, Vietnam (new country record).

Specimens examined: Holotype: , Samneua Laos 20.VI.91 | Holotype: Anomala iwasei Y. MIYAKE, 1994 ( RIEB) . Additional material: 1 , 3 , N. VIETNAM – Lao Cai prov., Van Ban dist. Van Ban Nature Reserve (at light) (~ 1000 m) 23.-26.V.2011, L. Bartolozzi, S. Bambi, F. Fabiano, E. Orbach leg. ( MZUF); 1 , LAOS north, 5-11.V.1997 20 km NW Louang Namtha N21°09.2.E 101°18.7 alt. 900+- 100 m. M. Strba & R. Hergovits leg. ( VMPC) .

Remarks: Anomala iwasei was originally described from Laos (Sam Neua) and occurs in Yunnan, China ( LIN 1996a). Herein, we provide the first record of this species from Vietnam, where it interestingly occurs sympatrically with its very close relative A. sapa MIYAKE, 1994 in Lào Cai Province.
