Diagnosis.
This species is similar to
C. protuberans
,
C. tenuous
, and
C. seleuyensis
in general appearance (e.g., the elytra yellow without any spots and broad), but can be distinguished from them by the anterior part and apex of penis hatchet-shaped with irregularly serrated coupled teeth. In
C. protuberans
, the penis is long and slender, with a large penis capsule and apex of penis is curved, with many small teeth. In
C. tenuous
, penis is very long and slender and apex of penis has many large teeth. In
C. seleuyensis
, penis is longer than in other species and apex of penis is partly membranous, with many small teeth.
Description.
TL: 3.26-3.30 mm, TW: 2.87-3.02 mm, TH: 1.29-1.40 mm, TL/TW: 1.09-1.14; PL/PW: 0.23-0.24; EL/EW: 0.86-0.98 HW/PW: 0.55-0.58; PW/TW: 0.54-0.55; HW/TW: 0.30-0.32; Eye W/HW: 0.5-0.57.
Head yellow, with eyes silvery gray. Pronotum, scutellar shield, and elytra yellow, with small dense punctures. Underside yellow, except mesoventrite and metaventrite yellowish brown.
Body oval, moderately convex (Fig.
1b, c
). Head small, 0.3 times elytral width (HW/TW = 1:3.2) with sparse pubescence. Eyes oval, widest interocular distance 0.54 times head width (eye W/HW = 1:1.87). Frons broad with irregular transparent spots, punctures uniform and dense (Fig.
1c, d
).
Pronotum 0.55 times elytral width (PW/TW = 1: 1.83), moderately transverse, with irregular transparent spots, punctures uniform and dense (Fig.
1c
). Elytra with transparent humeral angles, punctures uniform and dense (Fig.
1a-c
). Male genitalia (Fig.
1t-w
): penis guide in lateral view wide at base and uniformly narrowing to pointed apex; parameres distinctly longer than penis guide, uniformly slender with densely distributed long setae apically (Fig.
1t, u
); penis tubular, extremely long, curved; flabellate part of penis capsule very broad, anterior part and apex of penis hatchet-shaped with irregularly serrated coupled teeth (Fig.
1v, w
).
Distribution.
Philippines (Davao).
Etymology.
The name
uncinacanthus
is composed of the Latin word

, which refers to the anterior part of uncinate penis and
