6C2887E6FF8DFF8CFF19BCBF23F80D8A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Morimoto et al. (2015) provided the most recent and detailed diagnosis for the genus, although this was restricted to the Catapionus fauna of Japan containing less than 10 % of the known species diversity. Adults of Catapionus are operationally recognized by their scaly dorsum and characteristic pear-shaped habitus in combination with the fact that, besides Callirhopalus Hochhuth and Leptolepurus Desbrochers des Loges, both monotypic and mainly allopatric to Catapionus, Catapionus is the only genus of Cneorhinini in Asia. Additional characters used in regional treatments to key out the genus (i. e. in Bajtenov 1974 b for the former Soviet Central Asia or in Egorov et al. 1996 for the Russian Far East) might be relevant to the local faunas but may be inapplicable for all species of the genus. Externally, adults of Catapionus resemble those of the sympatric Dermatodes Schoenherr, Dermatoxenus Marshall and perhaps other Dermatodini, while no morphological characters have been adequately tested to separate these groups. The generic diagnosis of Catapionus by Marshall (1916) has the advantage of being prepared using the type species and in comparison with other potentially related genera of Cneorhinini and Dermatodini but is limited, however, to the former British India. Van Emden’s (1936) key to Entiminae tribes and genera might also be of use to identify a member of the genus.	en	Grebennikov, Vasily V.

6C2887E6FF8AFF8DFF19BBD723550BD2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Adult specimens of this nominal species can be likely distinguished from all other Catapionus (and, in fact, from all organisms), by having unique combination of external and genital morphological characters as illustrated in Figs 3 – 6, and unique DNA barcodes.	en	Grebennikov, Vasily V.

6C2887E6FF8AFF8DFF19BBD723550BD2.taxon	description	Description. Adults with dense scales on body surface giving beetles bluish or greenish luster (unless scales are partly abrased and body appears more blackish, Fig. 4); antennomere 3 slightly longer than antennomere 2; temples behind eyes with longitudinal black strip bearing no scales (Figs 7 A – D); pronotum along midline about 1.1 – 1.3 x as long as its maximal width; elytral lateral contour more rounded in females (Figs 4 A, 6 A) than in males (Figs 3 A, 5 A). Holotype, male (Figs 3 A – H). GenBank accession: KU 748534. Intraspecific variation. Male (Figs 5 A – H) and females (Figs 4 A – G, 6 A – H); GenBank accessions as in Fig. 7 E.	en	Grebennikov, Vasily V.

6C2887E6FF8AFF8DFF19BBD723550BD2.taxon	distribution	Distribution. This species consists of two populations (Fig. 1): one on Mt. Haba in Yunnan (the type locality) at altitude of 4,158 – 4,195 m and another on Mt. Gongga in Sichuan at altitude of 3,533 – 4,143 m.	en	Grebennikov, Vasily V.

6C2887E6FF8AFF8DFF19BBD723550BD2.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species epithet is a Latinized Greek mythical name of Mopsus, an Argonaut, who understood the language of birds and died from a snakebite in Libya; noun in apposition. Results of mtDNA analysis. Phylogeographic analysis grouped 12 sequences of the new Catapionus species in two clusters corresponding to both localities: Mt. Haba and Mt. Gongga (Fig. 7 E). The time of mtDNA divergence between both populations was estimated at about 3.65 Mya (Fig. 7 E).	en	Grebennikov, Vasily V.
