Holotypus, male: “ CHYPRE (Paphos district) Miliou | G. MIESSEN leg. 8- VI-2016 ” “Holotypus Carpelimus (Trogophloeus) cyprensis | det. M. Gildenkov, 2018” (cMT) . Paratypus: 3 females “ CHYPRE (Paphos district) Miliou | G. MIESSEN leg. 8- VI-2016 ” “Paratypus Carpelimus (Trogophloeus) cyprensis | det. M. Gildenkov, 2018” (cMT; 1 female - cMG) .</p><p>Description (holotype). Body length 2.0 mm. Coloration black, legs black-brown. Body slightly glossy, with short, light-colored setation.</p><p>Head transverse, with wide basal portion, ratio of its length (from posterior margin of head to anterior margin of clypeus) to maximum width about 19:25. Neck constriction prominent.</p><p>Eyes large, convex. Temples well-developed, round, diameter of eye in dorsal view about twice as long as temple. The largest wide of the head approximately equal to the level of the eyes or temples (Fig. 2). Surface of head densely shagreened. Antennae rather short, antennomeres 1 - 3 elongate; antennomeres 4 - 5 about as wide as long; antennomeres 6 - 10 transverse; antennomere 11 elongate, conical. Three apical antennomeres more massive than previous forming a loose club (Fig. 2).</p><p>Pronotum widest about 2/3 of its length from base, markedly narrowed basally. Lateral margins straight from base, broadly rounded in middle (Figs. 2, 3). Ratio length of pronotum to its maximum width about 21:26. Surface of pronotum densely shagreened. Disc of pronotum with two pairs of rather prominent, symmetrical depressions. Base of disc of pronotum with wide, crescent-shaped depressions slightly separated by median ridge. Central part of disc with longitudinal, oval depressions (Figs. 2, 3).</p><p>Ratio of length of elytra to their combined width about 35:39. Elytra with delicate, rather fine and dense punctation, with well-developed distinctly elevated ground sculpture between punctures (Figs. 2, 3).</p><p>Abdomen delicately shagreened.</p><p>Aedeagus very wide, with characteristic internal structures (Figs. 5, 8).</p><p>Female. Sexual dimorphism absent: female morphologically similar to male. Spermatheca as in Fig. 7.</p><p>Comparative remarks. The species belongs to the siculus species group (Gildenkov, 2011; 2015). It can be distinguished from C. siculus and C. peloponnensis by less deep and large, and more dense punctation of the surface of the elytra, with more developed ground sculpture between punctures (Figs. 3, 4). Carpelimus cyprensis differs from C. zellichi (the male of this species is unknown) by the distinctly dense, less deep and smaller punctation of the elytra (Bernhauer, 1903), and from C. euphratensis by m or e devel oped s cu l p t u r e bet ween punctures on the elytra. Based on the similar ground sculpture of elytra, it is more related with C. hilfi, but differs by the shape of the aedeagus and its internal structure. The new species can be distinguished from all species of the siculus group by the external and internal structure of the aedeagus - Figs. 5 - 6, 8 - 12.</p><p>Distribution. Western Cyprus, along the banks of small rivers.</p><p>Etymology. The specific name derived from the island the specimens were collected from.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/252787C9FFC03662FCACFEF5FABA9DAF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
