Variation.
Length of body: 8.4-9.8 mm; length of elytra: 6.5-7.3 mm; maximum width: 5.2-5.8 mm. Female: Eyes as large as in male; antennal club composed of three antennomeres, as long as remaining antennomeres combined.
Diagnosis.
Tetraserica fulleri
sp. n. differs from all other
Tetraserica
species in having long parameres and a long median phallobasal lamina, and by the simple left paramere being wide for its entire length (at middle nearly as wide as apex of phallobase; lateral view).
Etymology.
The new species is named after its collector, E Fuller (noun in genitive singular).
