Abstract
The genus Hyposerica Brenske, 1897 is endemic to the Malagasy region with most species (approximately 60, Ahrens unpublished data) occurring in Madagascar. There is also one species on La Réunion and nine species on Mauritius Island (eight were previously described by Arrow [1948] and one is described here as new). The Mauritius Island species are the only representatives of the tribe Sericini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) on the island. Hyposerica are not only the most diverse group of melolonthine chafers on Mauritius Island (with 12 chafer species in total), but also one of the most species-rich groups of scarabaeoid beetles on the island (Vinson 1956, 1967; Gomy 2000).
