Abstract
Subfamily: Melolonthinae Hilyotrogus holosericeus (Redtenbacher) Ancylonycha holosericeus Redtenbacher, in Hugel, Reise Kaschmir IV, 2, 1844, p.524 . Schizonycha holosericeus, Gemminger, et. Harold, Cat. Col. IV, 1869, p.1159. Ancylonycha brevicollis, Blanchard,Cat. Coll. Ent. I, 1850, p.132. Hilyotrogus holosericeus, Brenske, Berl. Ent. Zeitschr. XXXVII, 1892, p.171. Material examined: 26.v.1996,1 ex. (female), Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP), Sainj, alt. 2340m, coll. V.P. Uniyal. Diagnosis: Length 14.5-15.0mm, breadth 7.5-8.0mm; body elongate oval and convex; testaceous-yellow, sternum covered with soft dense hairs. Clypeus round, slightly sinuate in middle, front margin reflexed, strongly punctate with deep punctures; frons and vertex punctate with few punctures, frontal suture distinct. Pronotum transverse, thinly punctate on disc and rather densely on sides, anterior and posterior angles obtuse, lateral margins nearly rounded. Scutellum sparsely punctate. Elytra not covering propygidium, rather densely, finely and deeply punctate. Fore tibiae tridentate; middle and hind tibiae with a longitudinal carinae; tarsi longer than tibia; claws cleft. Pygidium triangular and coarsely punctate. In male, antennal club 5-segmented with an additional short sixth one. Distribution: India (Himachal Pradesh, Kashmir).
