Diagnosis.
Tetraserica sapana sp. n. is similar to T. pluriuncinata sp. n. in shape of male genitalia but differs from the latter by the shorter and simpler left paramere and the presence of trichome-like spines on the dorsal lobe of the right paramere.
Etymology.
The new species is named after the type locality, Sa Pa (adjective in the nominative singular).
