Notes. LIN (2002a) reported both Anomala russiventris and A. lasiocaula from Hainan Province, the two species were later synonymized by ZORN (2004). Neither the material studied by Lin nor any additional specimens from Hainan were available to the author, thus these records remain questionable. This species also occurs in Laos and western Malaysia (C. Zorn, pers. comm., 2018); however, the exact locality is unknown and thus omitted in the distribution map.

Distribution. Vietnam (Lạng SƠn, Lâm Đồng, “ Annam ”); China (Fujian, Guangdong, Guizhou, Guangxi, Yunnan, Hongkong, Hainan?); Thailand (Nakhon Si Thammarat); Cambodia (unspecific and omitted in the map); Myanmar (Shan); Laos (see above); Malaysia (see above).
