Variation.
Length of body: 8.6-8.9 mm; length of elytra: 6.1-6.8 mm; maximum width: 5.3-5.9 mm.
Diagnosis.
Tetraserica bolavensensis
sp. n. differs from the similar
T. latefemorata
Kobayashi, 2017 by the right paramere being half as long as left paramere and the deep split between lobes of right parameres; also the dorsal lobe is not reduced in size.
Etymology.
The new species is named after the type locality, Bolavens Plateau (adjective in the nominative singular).
