Remarks : Anomala chloropus seems to be a very widespread species in Southeast Asia with a distribution range extending from northeastern India ( CHANDRA & GUPTA 2012 ) to southern Vietnam , from which the subspecies codorensis PROKOFIEV, 1915 was described (Con Dao Island). Here, we report the nominate subspecies from Laos , Thailand and Vietnam for the first time. Whether or not the very similar species A . dentifera LIN, 2002 from southeastern China is really a different taxon is not yet clear and requires additional study.
