چکیده
Based on the examination of newly collected material and additional specimens housed in Chinese collections, our knowledge of Gastroserica Brenske, 1897, is expanded. Here, seven new species are described, including habitus photographs and illustrations of the male genitalia: Gastroserica haoyui sp. n. (China: Zhejiang Prov.), G. fengduana sp. n. (China: Sichuan Prov.), G. wenzhui sp. n. (China: Guangxi Prov.), G. damingshanica sp. n. (from China: Guangxi Prov.), G. jinxiuensis sp. n. (China: Guangxi Prov.), G. liboensis sp. n. (China: Yunnan Prov.) and G. carolusi sp. n. (Laos). Additionally, we provide a distribution map of the new taxa and new distribution records of the known taxa.

متن کاملTowards the phylogeny of chafers (Sericini): analysis of alignment-variable sequences and the evolution of segment numbers in the antennal club.
Scarabaeoid beetles display a distinctive lamellate antenna carrying olfactory sensillae which show various trends of surface enlargement, including the increased number of the terminal lamellate antennomeres. The presence of >3 lamellae ('plurilamellate' antennae) in some groups has been used in the classification of chafers (Melolonthinae) and in particular in the tribe Sericini. However, thi...
