Remarks. Anomala blaisei was described based on specimens from Annam (Keng-Trap) and Tonkin (LucNam), which might not be conspecific. Hence, a lectotype designation is probably necessary (Carsten Zorn, personal communication, 2020). The examined specimens from China and Thailand are conspecific with the syntype from Annam.

Distribution. China: Yunnan (new country record); Laos; Thailand (new country record); Vietnam.
