Anomala longilobata is a species of beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It was described by Ming-Zhi Zhao and Carsten Zorn in 2022. It is endemic to Hainan, China.[1]

The species is named after the Latin prefix “longi-” and the adjective “lobatus, -a, -um”, alluding to the slender and lobed lower branch of paramere.[1]
