Anomala keithi ZORN 2011

Description

Anomala keithi ZORN, 2011

Distribution: Vietnam.

Specimens examined: 3 , VIETNAM, Bac Kan Prov., Ba Be NP, Na Mam forest, 200 m, 22.417137°N, 105.632505°E, light trap, 17-19.IV.2010, leg. L. Papp, L. Peregovits & Z. Soltész VN 2010PL_17 (CZPC, HNHM); 1 , N.- VIETNAM Bac Kan Prov., Ba Be NP. (entry), 16.-20.V.2014 22°25'07"N 105°38'09"E 180-220 m, leg. A. Skale (ASPC); 1 , N VIETNAM – Bac Kan province, Ba Be National Park (~ 350m) (at light) 3-8. VI.2011 | L. Bartolozzi, S. Bambi, F. Fabiano, E. Orbach leg. (Num Magazzino 2909) (MZUF).

Remarks: The rediscovery of this species in the tropical lowland forests of Ba Bể in northern Vietnam (Bắc Kạn Province) leads to the conclusion that the type locality of this species (China, Daxue Shan in western Yunnan, 2600 m) is incorrect. The holotype specimen was apparently obtained from an insect dealer and was incorrectly labeled. Therefore, this species should be deleted from the list of Chinese species of Anomala. The female specimens from Ba Bể appear to be very similar to the female type specimen of A. punctulicollis FAIRMAIRE, 1893, collected in Hạ Lang (Cao Bằng Province). Whether these names are synonyms remains uncertain.
