Eyes small, ratio of diameter/interocular width: 0.55. Ratio of length of metepisternum/metacoxa: 1/1.77. Metatibia short and wide, ratio width/length: 1/3.12; basal group of dorsal spines of metatibia at first third of metatibial length.

Variation.
Length of body: 8.4-9.6 mm; length of elytra: 6.5-6.9 mm; maximum width: 5.9-6.0 mm.
Diagnosis.
Tetraserica nahaeoensis sp. n. differs from all other Tetraserica species in having a moderately long median phallobasal lamina being narrowed distally, curved dorsally, and having a dorsal tooth at apex; simple left parameres, the shorter right paramere (being one third as long as phallobase), the nearly straight left paramere.
Etymology.
The new species is named after the type locality, Na-Haeo (adjective in the nominative singular).
