Chlamydatus pachycerus Kiritshenko, 1931

Chlamydatus pachycerus Kiritshenko, 1931: 384 ; Carvalho, 1958: 33; Schuh, 1995: 291; Kerzhner, 1999: 327.

Diagnosis: Recognizable by the small size, total length 1.80–2.00, the width across pronotum 0.70, the hemelytron width 0.80–1.00, the unicolorous hemelytra sometimes being brachypterous, the relatively thick antennal segments I and II, the black femora with pale distal bands, and the yellow tibia with black, long, and thick spines.

Distribution: China (Xizang (=Tibet)).

Remark: Kiritshenko (1931) described Chlamydatus pachycerus . Subsequently, this species only appeared in catalogs, without further description. All the specimens examined by Kiritshenko were collected from the Tibet with the altitude not less than 4000m. There are no illustrations or a description of male genitalia available. We could not examine type specimens of this species. The diagnosis is based on the paper of Kiritshenko (1931). From Kiritshenko’s description, C. pachycerus can be separated from other species of this genus.
