Additional material: 1  “Mt. Matang, W. Sarawak. G.E.Bryant.2.XII.13. | G. Bryant Coll. B.M.1926- 86.” ( BMNH). 1  “Mt. Matang, W. Sarawak. G. E. Bryant. 12. 11. 14. | Anomala felicia Arrow [sic!]” ( NHMB).

Diagnosis:

Length. 10.5-11.5 mm; width. 5.9-6.5 mm. Anomala sarawakensissarawakensis shares most morphological characters with A. feliciafelicia as described above. The inner limitation of the yellow lateral band of the pronotum is strongly narrowed towards the posterior angle, a character that is only shared with A. manseri ( Fig. 21 ). Moreover, A. manserimanseri and A. sarawakensissarawakensis appear to be slightly larger in mean than the other species of this complex, but too few specimens are available for final conclusions. Anomala sarawakensisawakensis can only be distinguished from A. manserimanseri by the shape of the aedeagus. The parameres are distinctly shorter than in A. manseri . The apex is somewhat bulged and not pointed (Figs 17-18).

Distribution: Anomala sarawakensissarawakensis is only known from west Sarawak (Gunung Penrissen, Gunung Matang) ( Fig. 22 ). One female from Mt. Lingga cannot be identified with certainty and belongs to A. sarawakensis , A. manseri or a yet unknown species.
