It was originally described as possessing eight antennomeres. However, the +holotype +has nine antennomeres ( +Fig. 2B +). Species of + +Octotemnus +Mellié, 1847 + +all have eight antennomeres, short prosternum with incomplete, acute prosternal process, subconical procoxae projected beyond the level of the prosternum, and all tibiae with a row of spines from the apical edge to at least the apical one-third of the outer edge ( +Kawanabe 1993 +, +2002 +; +Lawrence 2016 +), characteristics not observed in this species. The +holotype +fits well within the limits of the genus + +Neoennearthron + +Miyatake, +1954 + + +in the possession of 9-segmented antennae, serrate outer protibial edge with a single tooth at the apex, short, biconcave prosternum with strongly curved prosternal process (which is narrow, but not laminate), vestiture of very short, fine hairs, dual, confuse elytral punctation, relatively simple, non-spinose meso- and metatibial apices, and produced and narrowly rounded anterior pronotal angles (Kawanabe 1994; +Lawrence 2016 +). The specimen seems to be a female due to the lack of anterior pronotal projections and a sex patch at the first abdominal ventrite, and it is similar to females of other +Neoennearthron species. +Neoennearthron sakaii Kawanabe, 1994 +was also described from the +Philippines +but from Luzon island.

From the Dyaul island, +Bismarck Archipelago +, +Papua New Guinea +. This species was described based on +two specimens +(a +holotype +and a +paratype +). The procoxae projecting beyond the level of the prosternal process, which is incomplete and acute, exclude it from +Ciini +and justify its inclusion in Orophiini. Among the Orophiini genera, + +Hyalocis +Kawanabe, 1993 + +has an elongated body, glabrous and shining dorsally, and 9-segmented antennae ( +Kawanabe 1993 +); +Octotemnus +has a more or less cylindrical body, subglabrous on dorsum, and 8-segmented antennae ( +Kawanabe 2002 +; +Lawrence 2016 +); and + +Xylographus +Mellié, 1847 + +has the first labial palpomere conspicuously elongate ( +Sandoval-Gómez et al. 2014 +). The remaining two Orophiini genera, + +Ropalodontus +Mellié, 1847 + +and + +Paratrichapus +Scott, 1926 + +, are similar to +C. bismarckensis +in the body covered by short to moderately long, erect, fine hairs, and in the 10-segmented antennae. But in +Ropalodontus +the outer apical angle of all tibiae is produced and rounded, without a clear distinction between apical and outer edges, and the row of spines goes from the apical edge to the outer apical angle; additionally, male +Ropalodontus +have the abdominal sex patch covered by a triangular flap. In most described species of +Paratrichapus +, there is no clear distinction between apical and outer edges in the protibiae (except in + +P. sechellatum +Scott, 1926 + +), however these edges are clearly distinct in the meso- and metatibiae in all described species. Additionally, in + +P. fultoni ( +Broun, 1886 +) + +and +P. sechellarum +, the males have the abdominal sex patch fully exposed, without a triangular flap; in the other described +Paratrichapus species +, males do not even have an abdominal sex patch. In +C. bismarckensis +the row of spines is restricted to the apical expansion of tibiae: “(...) all tibiae very strongly expanded terminally like an elongate triangular lobe and distinctly denticulate at its outer anterior border, pro- and mesotibia nearly equal in size, metatibia not so much expanded as the two anterior tibiae.” ( +Chûjô 1966 +). In the lateral image of the +holotype +( +Fig. 5B +; arrow) it is clear that the row of spines is restricted to the apical edge at least in the metatibia. Ropalondotus has its peak of diversity in the Palaearctic region, with one species in the Nearctic ( + +R. americanus +Lawrence, 1971 + +) and one in the Oriental region ( + +R. lawrencei +Ruta, 2003 + +, from +Thailand +). In contrast, +Paratrichapus +is diversified in the Australian and Oriental regions (Souza-Gonçalves et al. 2018). Therefore, based on the abovementioned morphological characteristics and geographic distribution, we decided to transfer +C. bismarckensis +to +Paratrichapus +, rather than to +Ropalodontus +. +Paratrichapus bismarckensis +comb. nov. +differs from all other species in the genus by the pronotum with microreticulate interstice of punctures. Besides +P. bismarckensis +, +P. fultoni +and +P. sechellatum +, +Paratrichapus +encompasses seven other described species: +P. australis Souza-Gonçalves et al., 2018 +, +P. burwelli Souza-Gonçalves et al., 2018 +, +P. christmasensis Souza-Gonçalves et al., 2018 +, + +P. javanus ( +Pic, 1937 +) + +, + +P. lobipes ( +Broun, 1895 +) + +, +P. metallonotum Souza-Gonçalves et al., 2018 +and +P. peckorum Souza-Gonçalves et al., 2018 +; beyond several undescribed species.

Male +Octotemnus +lack anterocephalic and pronotal modifications but have a sex patch at the first abdominal ventrite covered by a triangular flap.

The +holotype +seems to be a female due to the lack of a sex patch and triangular flap cover at the first abdominal ventrite. It is similar to females of other species in the genus.
