Holotype (ZMFK). Not examined.

New records.

China: Fujian, Shaowu, Tachulan, 2.vi.1943, T. Maa (NMNH, 1); as previous except: 1000 m, 13.vi.1943 (NMNH, 1); as previous except: Chong’an, 1000 m, 8.v.1978, ex Cinnamomum sp. (NMNH, 2).

Diagnosis.

5.4-5.6 mm long (mean = 5.53 mm; n = 4); 2.12-2.24 × as long as wide. This species is distinguished by the dense mesonotal mycangial tuft that extends laterally from the scutellum to striae 3; declivital posterolateral margin costate to interstriae 5; elytral disc with a deep transverse saddle-like depression; declivital summit with large incurved spine on interstriae 2; declivital interstriae 3 with six additional unequally sized incurved spines on basal 1/2; declivity strongly sulcate to interstriae 3; strial punctures large, seriate; interstriae impunctate, setose, setae semi-erect, short and thick; declivity shagreened, abundantly covered with long erect hair-like setae; and pronotal asperities small, coarse, densely spaced.

Distribution.

China (Fujian).

Host plants.

This species has only been reported from Cinnamomum ( Lauraceae ).

Remarks.

This species is transferred to Anisandrus because of the visible scutellum, pronotal base with a large, dense setal tuft (indicating a mesonotal mycangium), procoxae contiguous, antennal club type 1, taller than wide, and protibiae triangular.
