Differential diagnosis. Apterodela kazantsevi is easily distinguished from A. bivirgulata by the deep subapical notch ( Figs 201, 211 View FIGURES 193–212 vs. Figs 155–162, 165––179, 183–189 View FIGURES 153–172 View FIGURES 173–192 ) as well as by the shape of aedeagus ( Figs 222 View FIGURES 213–226 , 233 View FIGURES 227–236 vs. Figs 214–219 View FIGURES 213–226 , 228–231 View FIGURES 227–236 ) and internal sac ( Figs 239 View FIGURES 237–243 , 246 View FIGURES 244–250 , 253 View FIGURES 251–257 , 260 View FIGURES 258–264 vs. Figs 238 View FIGURES 237–243 , 245 View FIGURES 244–250 , 252 View FIGURES 251–257 , 259 View FIGURES 258–264 ). Apterodela kazantsevi is readily distinguished from related A. latissima sp. nov. (only by males) by the longer labrum LW/LL = 1.67–2.0 (mean = 1.89) vs. 1.97–2.38 (mean = 2.17), the narrower elytra EW/EHW = 1.44–1.69 (mean = 1.58) vs. 1.71–1.78 (mean = 1.75) with less sinuate lateral margins and longer subapical notch ( Fig. 201 View FIGURES 193–212 vs. Figs 199, 200 View FIGURES 193–212 ), the less convex body TL/BH = 4.15–4.59 (mean = 4.31) vs. 4.0–4.28 (mean = 4.14), and the shape of aedeagus ( Fig. 222 View FIGURES 213–226 vs. Fig. 223 View FIGURES 213–226 ). Apterodela kazantsevi is clearly separated from A. lobipennis by the longer labrum, especially in females LW/LL = 1.67–2.0 (mean = 1.89) vs. 1.82–2.40 (mean = 2.05) in males and 1.22–1.53 (mean = 1.31) vs. 1.50 –2.00 (mean = 1.73) in females, the narrower pronotum HW/PW = 1.39–1.6 (mean = 1.51) vs. 1.3–1.52 (mean = 1.4), the wider elytra with longer and deeper subapical notch ( Figs 201, 211 View FIGURES 193–212 vs. Figs 193–198, 203–210 View FIGURES 193–212 ), by the shape of aedeagus ( Figs 222 View FIGURES 213–226 , 233 View FIGURES 227–236 vs. Figs 220, 221 View FIGURES 213–226 , 232 View FIGURES 227–236 ) and internal sack ( Figs 239 View FIGURES 237–243 , 246 View FIGURES 244–250 , 253 View FIGURES 251–257 , 260 View FIGURES 258–264 vs. Figs 240 View FIGURES 237–243 , 247 View FIGURES 244–250 , 254 View FIGURES 251–257 , 261 View FIGURES 258–264 ). Apterodela kazantsevi is differentiated from A. alopecomma sp. nov. by the smaller size TL = 14.7–15.6 (mean = 15.2) mm vs. 15.5–16.7 (mean = 15.98) mm, flatter body TL/BH = 4.15–4.59 (mean =4.31) vs. 3.93–4.19 (mean = 4.04), wider head HW/PW = 1.39–1.6 (mean = 1.51) vs. 1.24–1.33 (mean = 1.29), glabrous scape ( Figs 54, 55 View FIGURES 49–62 vs. Figs 57, 58 View FIGURES 49–62 ), shape of labrum ( Figs 93, 98 View FIGURES 83–102 vs. Figs 95, 100 View FIGURES 83–102 ), wider elytra EL/EW = 1.57–1.74 (mean = 1.66) vs. 1.72–1.78 (mean = 1.75), and the shape of aedeagus ( Figs 222 View FIGURES 213–226 , 233 View FIGURES 227–236 vs. Figs 224 View FIGURES 213–226 , 234 View FIGURES 227–236 ) and internal sac ( Figs 239 View FIGURES 237–243 , 246 View FIGURES 244–250 , 253 View FIGURES 251–257 , 260 View FIGURES 258–264 vs. Figs 241 View FIGURES 237–243 , 248 View FIGURES 244–250 , 255 View FIGURES 251–257 , 262 View FIGURES 258–264 ).

White elytral pattern presented by the small, oval sub-humeral spot and short, comma-shaped, indistinctly oblique apical portion of middle band, supra-apical spot in males entirely absent, in females virtually invisible small, narrow, stripe-shaped ( Figs 201, 211 View FIGURES 193–212 ).

Abdominal ventrites glabrous, black with a light bluish or violet tinge along anterior margin.

Aedeagus medium-sized, EL/AL = 2.14–2.26 (mean = 2.2, n = 2), with short, slightly broadened apex terminating in indistinct knob and extended lateral flanks ( Figs 222 View FIGURES 213–226 , 233 View FIGURES 227–236 ). Internal sac with long straight mt, large ag, ll, and sh-ar, distinct guide for f, which placed across DA and VLL, large protruding VA and only marked both BLL and BLR ( Figs 239 View FIGURES 237–243 , 246 View FIGURES 244–250 , 253 View FIGURES 251–257 , 260 View FIGURES 258–264 ).
