Diagnosis.

Tetraserica angkorthomensis sp. n. differs from the very similar T. kiriromensis sp. n. by the distinctly shorter right paramere and wider and longer dorsal lobe of left paramere which is directed more distally rather mesally.

Etymology.

The new species is named after the type locality, Angkor Thom (adjective in the nominative singular).
