Type material examined.
Holotype: ♂ [China] "Yunnan, Wanding, 2011-IV-29, N: 24.086, E: 98.072, 900m/ LW-1247" (ZFMK). Paratype: 1 ♂ [China] "Yunnan, Wanding, 2011-IV-29, N: 24.086, E: 98.072, 900m/ LW-1247bis" (IZAS).
Description.
Body length: 9.3 mm, length of elytra: 6.9 mm, width: 5.4 mm. Surface of labroclypeus and disc of frons glabrous. Smooth area anterior to eye twice as wide as long. Eyes large; ratio of diameter/interocular width: 0.72. Antennal club 1.5 times as long as remaining antennomeres combined. Ratio of length of metepisternum/metacoxa: 1/1.56. Metafemur dull, anterior margin acute, without submarginal serrated line; anterior row of setae-bearing punctures absent; posterior margin with a large sharp hook. Metatibia short and wide, ratio width/length: 1/3.13; basal group of dorsal spines of metatibia at first third of metatibial length.

Variation.
Body length: 8.8-9.3 mm, length of elytra: 6.9-7.1 mm, width: 5.4-5.6 mm.
Diagnosis.
Tetraserica wandingensis sp. n. differs from Tetraserica liangheensis by the larger eyes (ratio diameter/interocular distance: 0.72 vs. 0.59) and dorsal lobe of the right paramere being very small and bent basally.
Etymology.
The new species is named after the type locality, Wanding.
