Description and diagnosis:
Length. 9.2-10.0 mm; width.
5.1-5.6 mm
.
Anomala snizeki
shares most morphological characters with
A. feliciafelicia
as described above. The inner limitation of the yellow lateral band of the pronotum is not notched but usually straight from anterior to posterior margin (
Fig. 20
), a character that is shared with
A. kaltengensis
,
A. bifida
,
A. aequalis
,
A. kinabalensiskinabalensis
and
A. mahakamensis
. From these five species,
A. snizeki
can only be distinguished by the shape of the aedeagus. The parameres are strongly elongate whereas the ventral plate shows no extensions (Figs 3-4).
Distribution:
Anomala snizekisnizeki
is known from various localities in
Sabah
(
Fig. 22
).
Etymology:
The species is named after Miroslav Snížek (České Budějovice) who collected some of the
paratypes
.
