Abstract
Here we describe six new sericine species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Sericinae) from India: Maladera champhaiensis Gupta, Bhunia, Ahrens & Chandra, sp. nov., Neoserica churachandpurensis Gupta, Bhunia, Ahrens & Chandra, sp. nov., Maladera barasingha Gupta, Bhunia, Ahrens & Chandra, sp. nov., Maladera lumlaensis Gupta, Bhunia, Ahrens & Chandra, sp. nov., Serica subansiriensis Gupta, Bhunia, Ahrens & Chandra, sp. nov., and Maladera onam Gupta, Bhunia, Ahrens & Chandra, sp. nov.. Additionally, we report new records of 28 species including the first state records of Maladera bengalensis (Brenske, 1899) and M. seriatoguttata Ahrens & Fabrizi, 2016 for Goa and Maharashtra (India), respectively. Morphology of the new species is described and illustrated.
