REMARKS. Anomala vitalisi was recorded from China (Lin 2002; Zorn & Bezdék 2016;

Zorn et al., 2017), Laos (Zorn et al., 2017), and Vietnam (Ohaus, 1914; Machatschke, 1957;

Paulian, 1959; Machatschke, 1972; Zorn & Bezdék 2016; Zorn et al., 2017). Actually, Lin

(2002) and Zorn & Bezdék (2016) provided Chinese provinces records (Fujian, Guangdong,

Guizhou, Jiangxi, Sichuan) without father data, and Zorn et al. (2017) only examined a female specimen from ‘Canton’ (Guangzhou, Guangdong) of South China, the distribution limits of A. vitalisi within China can’t be certain in these works. In this study, specimens collected from Chongqing, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, and Sichuan are definitely not A. vitalisi , but A. huangjianbini sp. n. In this study, only thirty new specimens from

Lvchun County of Yunnan (new distribution record) which exactly matched its original description in Ohaus (1914) were collected from the same mountain range with its type locality: Lao Cai, North Vietnam (160 km away from Luchun County) .
