Deskripsi

A new species, Distenia orientalis sp. n. is described from Southeastern China. It was misidentified as D. gracilis (Blessig, 1872) but can be separated from the latter by the color of antennae and legs, structure differences on scape, maxillary palp, pronotum, tibiae, punctures on elytra, etc. Three related species are carefully diagnosed and treated.
