Type locality. "China, Foochow". Type material examined. Holotype (male), labeled: "CHINA, Foochow [p], vi. 1936 [h], M. S. Yang [p, white label] // next to Polyphylla nov. sp. [h] Ph. de Wailly det [p] // Pres. by Com. Ins. Ent. B. M. 1948-152 [p] // TYPE [h, red label]", aedeagus is glued on label separately pinned: "CHINA, Foochow, KIENG, vi. 1936, M. S. Yang [h] // Brit. Mus. 1948-152 [h] // next to Polyphylla nov. sp. [h] Ph. de Wailly det [p]", in BMNH. Additional material examined. CHINE Guangxi / Da Yao Shan / V. VI. 2008 / SINIAEV leg., 2 males and 1 female in DKCP. Diagnosis. Scaly stripes on the elytra are partially fragmented (Figs 11, 13), rarely the elytra are completely maculate (Fig. 12). Antennomere 3 long and slender, three times longer than antennomere 2. Basal margin of pronotum convex medially. Male genitalia as in Figs 14-15. Figures 11-15. Polyphylla (Granida) jessopi 11 Habitus of holotype male (length 19.0 mm), dorsal view 12 Habitus of male (Guangxi, China, length 20.0 mm), dorsal view 13 Habitus of female (Guangxi, China, length 18.0 mm), dorsal view 14 Male genitalia, dorsal view 15 The same, right lateral view, shaded area indicates overlapping part of left paramere. Scale bar: 5 mm for Figs 14-15. Distribution. Fukien and Guangxi provinces of China. Remarks. For a long time, Polyphylla (Granida) jessopi was known from single male only. Recently, Keith (2010) reported three additional specimens collected in Guangxi (China) with variable elytral pattern. Except of two specimens with the same pattern as the holotype, one male has maculate elytra. Such distinct variability in elytral pattern is very unusual in Palaearctic members of the genus Polyphylla .
