Diagnosis.
Tetraserica dongnaiensis sp. n. differs from all other Tetraserica species that have long median phallobasal lamina with simple left and simple right parameres at base (without brush of spines), by the left paramere being split behind basal third into two filiform branches, and the right paramere being short and curved.
Etymology.
The new species is named with reference to its occurrence in the Dong Nai province (adjective in the nominative singular).
