9C9CB55D0AFF34569B944580BB13C5F2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species belongs to a group of Granida species with well-defined scaly stripes on the elytra. Polyphylla (Granida) albolineata, Polyphylla (Granida) schoenfeldti and Polyphylla (Granida) taiwana are rather large (27 - 32 mm) and with unidentate protibia in males. Polyphylla (Granida) simoni sp. n. is thus similar mainly to Polyphylla (Granida) nikodymi from mainland Asia and Polyphylla (Granida) minor from Taiwan and China. These species are easily separated by the shape of the male genitalia. Parameres bear a small tooth subapically in Polyphylla (Granida) simoni sp. n. (see in the lateral view), while this small tooth is located much more basally in Polyphylla (Granida) nikodymi and Polyphylla (Granida) minor (compare Fig. 4 and Fig. 7). Moreover, the antennomere 3 is long and slender and more than three times longer than antennomere 2 in Polyphylla (Granida) simoni, while it is rather stout and twice as long as antennomere 2 in Polyphylla (Granida) nikodymi and Polyphylla (Granida) minor.	en	Sehnal, Richard, Bezdek, Ales (2011): Review of the subgenus Polyphylla (Granida) from continental Asia (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae).

0748F6528776A2B721684401D81468DF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Polyphylla (Granida) minor and Polyphylla (Granida) nikodymi share similar shape of antennomere 3 (rather short, only twice as long as antennomere 2 and with distinct anterodistal tooth). These species are easily separated by the shape of the male genitalia Figs 6 - 7 and Figs 9 - 10) and by the scaly pattern on pygidium (the pygidium is impunctate and bare along midline in Polyphylla (Granida) minor, while it is entirely covered with recumbent scales in Polyphylla (Granida) nikodymi).	en	Sehnal, Richard, Bezdek, Ales (2011): Review of the subgenus Polyphylla (Granida) from continental Asia (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae).

A67DCC3BD9A91914D710A03CD26D30D5.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. An easily recognizable Polyphylla (Granida) species because of its maculate elytra. Antennomere 3 long and slender, more than three times longer than antennomere 2. Basal margin of pronotum is almost straight against the scutellum, while convex in other Granida species. It is most likely to be confused only with some Polyphylla (Granida) jessopi specimens bearing the same maculate elytral pattern. Polyphylla (Granida) phongsali in average larger than Polyphylla (Granida) jessopi (the length of males varies between 21.5 - 24.5 mm versus 18.5 - 20.0 mm in Polyphylla (Granida) jessopi). Male genitalia as in Figs 18 - 19.	en	Sehnal, Richard, Bezdek, Ales (2011): Review of the subgenus Polyphylla (Granida) from continental Asia (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae).
