Description

Cryptogonus nepalenensis bhutanensis Bielawski, 1979

(Figs. 3 a–h)

Cryptogonus nepalensis bhutanensis Bielawski, 1979: 113.

Diagnosis. Cryptogonus nepalensis bhutanensis superficially resembles the subspecies, C. nepalensis nepalensis Bielawski, 1972, but it can be separated from the latter by the color pattern of the elytra (Figs. 3 a–c) and the apex of the penis guide (Fig. 3f). In C. n. bhutanensis, base and apex of the elytra is rather widely black (Fig. 3c), penis guide feebly curved outwards in lateral view (Fig. 3e), while in C. n. nepalensis, only the base of the elytra is widely black and penis guide nearly straight.

Material Examined. PAKISTAN (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) 5 m # 3 f#, Paras, [34°39′23.53″N, 073°30′13.91″E], ca. 1364m, 15.X.2015, Wang X., leg.

Distribution. Pakistan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and Bhutan (Bielawski 1979).
