(C.) ohnoi Kimoto, 1983 but it is clearly separated from these sibling species by the combination of the following characters: scutellum heart-shaped; elytron with five yellowish spots; elytral striae VI to IX complete; pygidium without ridge at middle; median lobe of aedeagus parallel-sided to basal 3/5, semicircular apex in dorsal view, upper side becomes membranous after half which expand dorsally and cover the orifice; uniformly convergent to acute apex in lateral view.</p><p>Description. Male. Body cylindrical, upper side shiny, 3.05–3.30 mm in length. Coloration.Antennal segments black or brown except for segments I to III yellowish brown; head, legs, pygidium, and ventral surface yellowish brown; pronotum black with yellowish brown spots at base, along the basal margin and along the anterior margin yellowish brown; scutellum black; elytron black, each with five yellowish brown spots: 1) basi-scutellar spot elongate, reaching along elytral suture from base to basal 5/7, 2) interio-humeral spot slender, shorter or same length to the length of basi-scutellar one, 3) median spot elongate, spread from elytral suture to stria IV, 4) latero-median spot large, spread from stria VI to lateral side of elytron, and 5) apical spot, round, largest of all elytral spots, reaching from basal 2/7 to elytral apex.</p><p>Head. Vertex wrinkled with longitudinal sulcus at middle, irregularly and sparsely punctate bearing with silver setae; the width between the central part of eyes 3.1 times as wide as the ones of the upper part; eye reniform, oblong, reaching from vertex to the side of clypeus; frons uneven, irregularly punctate bearing with silver setae, interspace of punctures with minute punctures; clypeus trapezoid, irregularly and weakly punctate, bearing short silver setae; labrum transverse, parallel-sided, anterior margin sinuate, surface smooth.</p><p>Antennae filiform, reaching to humeri; segment I robust, 2.3 times as long as wide, widest at middle; segment II shortest, barrel-shaped, 1.3 times as long as wide; segment III to V slender, about 4.0 to 5.0 times as long as wide, weakly widened apically, widest near apex; segment VI to X about 3.0 times as long as wide, widest before apex, segment XI widened apically, widest at basal 3/5, then suddenly becoming narrowed, gradually convergent to apex.</p><p>Pronotum moderately convex, transverse, minutely and irregularly punctate, 1.6 times as wide as long, widest at base; anterior margin strongly rounded; lateral margins curved, widened to base; posterior margin sinuated, sharply and posteriorly protrude at middle.</p><p>FIGURE 1.

Prosternum weakly depressed, lateral sides of posterior margin protruding backward. Abdomen clothed with short pubescens, irregularly and weakly punctate; apex of last ventrite without foveae.</p><p>Median lobe of aedeagus elongate, in dorsal view parallel-sided to basal 3/5, then roundly convergent to semicircular apex, upper side becomes membranous after the basal half, expanding dorsally and covering the orifice, notched medially; in lateral view weakly bent ventrally near base, weakly swollen in half, uniformly convergent to acute apex; ventral margin straight; length of median lobe as same as basal hood.

The scientific name of C. (C.) tsutsumiuchii sp. nov. is dedicated to Mr. Yuji Tsutsumiuchi, a Japanese coleopterist, who discovered this new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DA87AF735AA05FEAACFDACFC8C9F33	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
