Holcostethus manifestus Kiritshenko, 1952: 154– 156 .

Diagnosis. The aedeagus bears two pairs of conjunctive processes and a rudiment of the third pair. The sclerotized median plates are strongly widened. In addition to the subgeneric characters, the species differs in prevalence of intensive ochraceous or reddish tones in its coloration and in the well-developed black punctation.

Description. Body sandy-golden to reddish, with dense fine black punctation. Underside of body pale, yellow or with slight orange tint, sparsely punctate. Abdominal segments pale yellow, with agglomerations of black punctures in anterior and posterior corners of tergites. Antenna rufescent-reddish. Length of body 8–9.4 (8.8) mm, b. lw 1.6–1.77 (1.68).

Head transverse [h. wl 1.11–1.23 (1.16)], medium-sized, l. bh 3.95–4.64 (4.41). Jugae flat, slightly emarginate before eyes, narrowly rounded apically, longer than clypeus, occasionally not covering its apex ( Fig. 85 View Figs ). Eye small, ds 1.34–1.48 (1.39). Antenna long, l. ba 1.78–2.15 (1.98).

Pronotum transverse [p. wl 2.1–2.31 (2.19)], flat, with straight sides, occasionally with fine pale costa along margin; lateral angles rounded. Scutellum with slightly emarginate sides, of subequal length and width, s. lw 0.94–1.05 ( 1).

Male genitalia. Pygofer wide, with pointed apical angles and sinuous apical margin ( Fig. 82 View Figs ). Aedeagus with 2 pairs of well-developed conjunctive processes and with rudiment of third pair ( Figs. 27 View Figs , 33 View Figs ). Sclerotized median plates strongly widened, contacting. Theca with lateral processes. Paramere in form of overturn “L,” with slightly projecting sensory lobe; uneven area of inner surface of paramere arcuately curved ( Fig. 61 View Figs ).

Female genitalia. Spermatheca with small spherical bulb bearing a pair of processes, one of which occasionally slightly projecting beyond proximal flange. Sclerotized duct with spherical widening at base ( Fig. 15 View Figs ). Sternite IX short and wide, with attenuate apices. Laterotergite IX slightly narrowed toward base (as in Fig. 104 View Figs ).

Distribution. Pamiro-Alai: the Zeravshan, Hissar, Alai, and Khozretisho Mt. Ranges, South-Tajik Depression. The species occurs on deciduous trees, bushes, and grasses, reaches a height of 3600 m.
