Remarks: Anomala schereri was described from Assam, India, which appears to represent the western distribution limit of this species. The eastern-most record is Hainan, China. This species occurs in Yunnan and the northern parts of Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. It should occur in Myanmar as well, but no records are known to the authors.
