Variation.
Length of body: 8.0-8.5 mm; length of elytra: 5.9-6.5 mm; maximum width: 5.0-5.4 mm.
Diagnosis.
Tetraserica pailinensis
sp. n. is similar to
T. loeiensis
sp. n. in shape of aedeagus;
T. pailinensis
sp. n. differs from the latter by the dorsal lobe of the left paramere being twice as long as the ventral one.
Etymology.
The new species is named after the type locality, Pailin (adjective in the nominative singular).
