03E7878BFFD1FFA2D9A13C16FDDDBB93.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Body obovate. Head and pronotum without impression and microsculpture (Figs. 4, 5). Anterior margin of labrum bearing a transverse row of setae. Pronotal punctures uneven, denser laterally than mesally. Ground punctures on elytra rather fine; ten rows of large punctures present on posterior half of elytra (Fig. 1). Mesoventrite flat. Meso- and metafemora pubescent on basal four-fifths (Figs. 2, 8, 9). Parameres with lateral incisions subbasally and subapically, strongly widening in midlength, with distinct hook-like lateral projection at apex. Apex of median lobe situated ca. apical ninth of paramere in length (Fig. 50). This species is very similar to C. lianggeqiui and C. obovata. Ground punctures on elytra of C. aduncata are generally finer than in C. lianggeqiui (those of C. obovata are almost the same as C. aduncata); reliable identification requires a careful examination of the male genitalia, this species can be distinguished from these species by the distinct hook-like apical projection of the paramere (Fig. 50).	en	Jia, Fenglong, Tang, Yudan, Minoshima, Yûsuke N.

03E7878BFFD9FFA9D9A13C86FAAEBF13.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The examined specimen has the following characters: length 2.8 mm, width 1.4 mm. Head blackish brown, pronotum and elytra dark brown. Head entirely with microsculpture. Pronotum with indistinct submarginal impression and more or less distinct submedian impressions, with strong microsculpture laterally. Pronotal punctures evenly distributed. Elytra with nine distinct series of punctures from base to apex (first series of punctures completely fused with sutural stria, only detected on basal third where sutural striae disappeared) (Fig. 42). Mesoventrite with a transverse ridge (Figs. 49, 64). Metafemora glabrous (Figs. 43, 66), with pubescence on extreme base (Fig. 66). Parameres broad, not incised laterally, with outer margin strongly curved subapically, more or less truncate apically. Median lobe gradually narrowed from base to anterior sixth, and then widened subapically, with a projection apically (Fig. 52). Judging from the description of Hebauer (1994), this specimen is most similar to C. nepalensis Hebauer, 1994, a species which was not examined in this study. Therefore, the specimen is regarded as unidentified species.	en	Jia, Fenglong, Tang, Yudan, Minoshima, Yûsuke N.
