Twenty-eight species are discovered new to science: Amiserica basisymmetrica Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. belousovi Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. carolusholzschuhi Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. diaocangshana Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. eucurviforceps Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. fengyangensis Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. funiushanica Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. gibbosiforceps Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. guanmenshanica Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. guizhouensis Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. gulinqin Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. incisa Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. jiuhuensis Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. jizuensis Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. linzhouensis Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. longxinensis Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. lucidiflava Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. nahang Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. panghongae Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. pappi Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. piaoac Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. pseudoantennalis Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. pseudoincisa Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. sacculiforceps Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. strnadi Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. ventriscalptus Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. venxianensis Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species, A. zhongtiaoshanensis Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, new species. Furthermore, our investigation resulted in two new combinations: Maladera (Eumaladera) loi (Kobayashi, 1991), new combination and Amiserica antennalis (Nomura, 1974), new combination; the first species is thus excluded from Amiserica. A key to species groups and species within groups is given, habitus and male genitalia are illustrated. The distribution of the species revised herein is shown on maps.
