Comments. T. agnatum is the only Truncaudum without sharply truncated declivity. However, all other characters and a molecular phylogeny place this species within Truncaudum (Fig. 8, Cognato et al., 2011). It is extremely variable in body size (2.0-3.0 mm) and elytral declivity (from obliquely rounded to nearly truncated). Very similar to Cyclorhipidion californicum and C. pelliculosum, but not closely related (Cognato et al., 2011). T. agnatum differs by the more flatten declivity surrounded by conspicuous tubercles and the antennae type 2 (first segment covering most of posterior side), rather than 3 (not obliquely truncated, segments 2 and 3 clearly visible on both sided).

C. delicatum and C. subagnatum differ from T. agnatum in the slightly different size of several declivital tubercles, but not by any phylogenetically significant character. T. agnatum is almost identical to X. gratiosus, except the declivity appears superficially different. Strial punctures on the declivity of the X. gratiosus holotype (the only specimen known to us) are enlarged, and their inner surface is shagreened, which results in much more rugged appearance of the whole declivity.
