Variation.
Length of body: 9.5-10.0 mm; length of elytra: 6.5-7.1 mm; maximum width: 5.5-5.9 mm.
Diagnosis.
Tetraserica semiruiliensis sp. n. differs from the similar T. ruiliensis Liu et al., 2014 by the nearly straight right paramere (lateral view), which is moderately bent at middle (lateral view) in T. ruiliensis .
Etymology.
The species name (adjective in the nominative singular) is derived from the combined Latin prefix semi- (half) and the species name ruiliensis , with reference to the similarity to T. ruiliensis Liu et al.
