Diagnosis

Recognized by its moderate size; dorsum dark brown to fuscous (in males), and paler (in females) and rather glabrous, covered with sericeous setae (Fig. 1 A, B); pronotum immaculate and glabrous, pale line transverse vertically along medial part of pronotum; cuneus pale, apex darkened; basal half of metafemur pale, distal half dark brown to fuscous; male genitalia as in Fig. 2 A, B and Fig. 3 C, D; spiculum distinctly long and slender (Fig. 2 B); sensory lobe of left paramere rather tumid; sclerotized ring small and ovate, semicircular (Fig. 4 A, B). For detailed diagnostic character, figures and description, see Yasunaga (1998).

Measurements (♂/♀) Total body length 5.32-5.80/ 5.78-6.26; head width across eyes 0.99-1.03/ 1.03-1.06; vertex width 0.39-0.42/ 0.46-0.49; lengths of antennal segment I–IV 0.58-0.62, 1.66-1.88, 0.74-0.79, 0.39-0.41/ 0.60-0.64, 1.75-1.94, 0.68-0.88, 0.39-0.41; labial length 1.73-1.86/ 1.84-1.91; mesal pronotal length including collar 1.15-1.22/ 1.17-1.25; basal pronotal width 1.96-2.07/ 2.09-2.14; width across hemelytron 2.29-2.44/ 2.30-2.59; cuneal length 1.04-1.20/ 1.09-1.20; cuneal width 0.60-0.68/ 0.62-0.71; lengths of metafemur, tibia and tarsus 1.82-2.04, 2.67-2.90, 0.56-0.59/ 2.02-2.29, 2.81-3.04, 0.59-0.66.

Distribution

China (Fujian, Hebei, Sichuan) ( Zheng et al. 2004), Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu), Far East Russia (S. Primorskij Prov.) ( Yasunaga 1998), Korea (Central, New record).

Notes

This species is host specific to Juglans spp. and Pterocarya rhoifolia Siebold & Zucc. ( Juglandaceae ) ( Yasunaga 1998). Yasunaga (1998) assumed Japanese C. falkovitshi invaded from Primorskij, Russia, via the Korean peninsula. Our record supports this hypothesis.
