IX, fig. 76, pl. XVII, fig. 60, pl. XXII, fig. 50 [redescription, <i>excisipes</i> -group, recorded from China: Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hunan]; Lin 2002b: 411 [redescription]; Zorn 2005: 315 [taxonomic treatment]; Zorn 2006: 267 [catalogued, recorded from Jiangxi]; Prokofiev &amp; Zorn 2016: 333, figs. 5, 29–31 [recorded from Vietnam: Lam Dong, Lac Duong]; Zorn &amp; Bezděk 2016: 345 [catalogued]. <i>Mimela decipiens</i> Hope, 1841: 66 [original description, type locality: Assam]; Burmeister 1844: 542; Arrow 1917: 120 [in synonymy]; Paulian 1959: 108 [in synonymy]; Lin 1993: 76 [in synonymy]; Zorn 2005: 315 [in synonymy]; Zorn 2006: 267 [catalogued, in synonymy]; Prokofiev &amp; Zorn 2016: 333 [in synonymy]; Zorn &amp; Bezděk 2016: 345 [catalogued, in synonymy]. <i>Mimela</i> (<i>Eriomela</i>) <i>decipiens</i>: Ohaus 1918: 132 [catalogued, valid species]. <i>Mimela dulcissima</i> Bates, 1891: 78 [original description, type locality: Sze-chuen]; Ohaus 1918: 130 [catalogued]; Lin 1993: 77 [probably synonym of <i>M. dehaani</i>]; Zorn 2005: 315 [junior synonym of <i>M. dehaani</i>]; Zorn 2006: 267 [catalogued, in synonymy]; Prokofiev &amp; Zorn 2016: 333 [in synonymy]; Zorn &amp; Bezděk 2016: 345 [catalogued, in synonymy]. <b>Type material examined.</b> None. The identification is based on Lin (1993) and Prokofiev &amp; Zorn (2016). <b>Additional material examined</b> (6♂♂, 5♀♀). <b>CHINA: Anhui:</b> 1♂, 1♀ (ZMPC), Lu'an City, Jinzhai, Mazongling Forest Land, 620m, 2018.VII.23, Yu-Chen Zheng leg.; 1♂ (ZMPC), ditto, except date " 2018.VII.29 ~VII.10"; <b>Guangdong:</b> 1♂, 1♀ (ZMPC), Lianzhou City, Sanshui Township, Tianxin Village light trap 25°6′40″N 112°28′50″E 2019.VI.10–14. <b>LAOS: Xieng Khouang:</b> 2♂♂, 2♀♀ (ZMPC), Muang Khoun 2019.V.5–15 local collector leg. <b>THAILAND: Chiang Mai:</b> 1♀ (ZMPC), Huai Kaeo village, Mae On, Chiang Mai N 18°53′36″ E 99°15′53″ h ~ 500m; 09-11.VIII.2009 D. V. Potanin leg. <b>Nan:</b> 1♂ (THPC), Bo Kluea dist., Bo Kluea subdist., 6.IX.2019 T. Hongsuwong leg. <b>Remarks.</b> This species is very widespread in mainland Asia. The material examined herein documents its presence in Laos and Thailand for the first time. Zhang <i>et al.</i> (2014) reported it from Preah Vihear Province of northern Cambodia. However, the southernmost distribution of several species treated in the same work are restricted to northern Indochina, i.e. <i>Anomala aulax</i> (Wiedemann, 1832), <i>Glenopopillia rufipennis rufipennis</i> Lin, 1980 (subspecific status confirmed by Denis Keith, personal communication, 2021), <i>Mimela nigritarsis</i> Lin, 1990. It is most probable that those material was mislabeled by an insect dealer. The record of <i>M. dehaani</i> in Cambodia is thus omitted here. <b>Distribution.</b> Bhutan; China: Anhui *, Fujian, Guangdong *, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan; India: Assam, Sikkim; Laos *: Xieng Khouang; Thailand *: Chiang Mai, Nan; Vietnam: Lam Dong, Lao Cai, Vinh Phuc.
