) and a few lobules laterally on each side; horn crest slightly raised, evenly lowering towards horn apex, rather distinctly marked laterally by series of small, more or less densely spaced lobules / rugules; punctures in basal half of elytra shallow, densely spaced, their margins finely sculptured (not quite smooth).
Male characters (

); legs simple; abdominal sternum VII simple, nearly evenly rounded posteriorly; tergum VIII forming simple, evenly arched sclerite; aedeagus as figured (

Remarks.
TELNOV (2007)
described
Notoxus psammophilus
from single female specimen deposited in the private collection of Andreas Pütz (Eisenhüttenstadt,
Germany
). The additionally examined male specimen originates from an adjacent province and fully agrees with the original description, perhaps except for moderate differences in colouration which is undoubtedly variable (see above).
