In C. urbinus Brailovsky sp. noV., acetabulae are yellow with metallic green reflections, head ventrally including rostral segments I – III (IV absent), anterior and posterior lobe of metathoracic peritreme, evaporative area, abdominal sterna, and the genital plates entirely yellow; upper margin of pro-, meso-, and metapleura with wide yellow, lengthwise stripe that inclusively covers the acetabulae and upper half with wide metallic green stripe; and femora yellow or pale orange with dark brown longitudinal stripe running dorsally. In C. coxalis, acetabulae are entirely yellowish white; the head black, ventrally with bucculae and area close to eyes yellow; rostral segments I – IV reddish brown; pro-, meso-, and metapleura shiny brick red; femora pale to dark castaneous orange; the metathoracic peritreme with anterior lobe black, posterior lobe dark castaneous; and abdominal sterna and genital plates never entirely yellow.	en	Brailovsky, Harry (2018): The genus Ctenomelynthus (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae: Acanthocephalini), with the description of three new species and key to the known species.
