Diagnosis:

Length. 9.1-10.5 mm; width. 5.2-6.2 mm. Anomala kinabalensiskinabalensis shares most morphological characters with A. feliciafelicia as described above. The inner limitation of the yellow lateral band of the pronotum is not notched but usually straight from anterior to posterior margin ( Fig. 20 ), a character that is shared with A. snizeki , A. kaltengensis , A. bifida , A. aequalisaequalis and A. mahakamensis . From these five species, A. kinabalensis can only be distinguished by the shape of the aedeagus. Both, parameres and ventral plate are strongly elongate. The parameres are angled apically and bent downwards and are very similar to those of A. mahakamensis . The extension of the ventral plate is apically broader than in A. mahakamensis (Figs 11-12).

Distribution: Anomala kinabalensiskinabalensis is only known from the Kinabalu region in the province of Sabah ( Fig. 22 ).
