(Figs. 61–62, 124–127) Material examined. Holotype , female: Afghanistan : “O. Afghanistan , Prov. Nengrahar D. Povolný et coll. (114) Jalalabad 3. 5. 1967 580” ( HNHM ). 5 paratypes , 1 male and 4 females : “O. Afghanistan , Prov. Nengrahar lgt. D. Povolný Jalalabad I.–III. 1965 ” ( 1 male , HNHM ); “NO. Afghan. 1953 J. Klapperich Nuristan, Kamu, Bashgultal, 1500 m 24.IV. “ ( 1 female , HNHM , 2 females , CPG); same but “ 26.IV. ” Cardiophorus ( Platynychus ) sp. Gurjeva det. 1971 ( 1 female , HNHM ). Diagnosis. This species is very similar to Cardiophorus hauseri Schwarz, 1900 , it can be separated by the claws being dilated basally and by the genitalia. Description. Female (Fig. 61). Colour variable; holotype and two paratypes with head and pronotum brownish, darker than scutellum and elytra yellow-ferruginous with blackish undefined shadings, other three paratypes with darker colours, elytra nearly entirely blackish or with reddish base; antennae and legs yellowish; covered with very dense, fine, yellowish pubescence. Frons flat or moderately convex, anterior margin moderately thickened and regularly curved; punctures very dense, nearly contiguous, approximately of same diameters. Antennae not reaching posterior angles, very slightly serrated from third antennomera on; second subconical, 3× longer than wide, fourth–tenth subtriangular, on average more 3× longer than wide, last as long as penultimate, subellipsoidal. Pronotum slightly wider than long, widest before anterior third, strongly convex, abruptly sloping at sides, nearly verically at base; sides arcuate, from just behind anterior third gradually narrowing forwards, less gradually converging backwards, slightly sinuate before posterior angles, latter short, truncate, slightly divergent, shortly carinate; lateral margin well apparent, obsolete only slightly before anterior margin; puncturation double, very fine punctures regularly mixed with larger, deep and simple ones (on average 3–4 smaller punctures falling to one larger). Scutellum heart-shaped, as long as wide, emarginate at middle of base, moderately impressed at middle, very finely punctured. Elytra 2.5× longer and slightly wider than pronotum at middle, convex, widest at middle; striae deeply punctured; interstriae subconvex, very finely punctured. Claws dentate. Bursa copulatrix sclerified as in Fig. 124 , asymmetrical piece with a circular base as in Fig. 125 , furca as in Fig. 126 . Male (Fig. 62). Very similar to female, a little smaller with longer antennae nearly reaching apicies of posterior angles of pronotum. Aedeagus as in Fig. 127 (length 0.92 mm ). Size. Length 5.6–6.6 mm ; width 1.68–2.12 mm . Etymology. This species is dedicated to Czech lepidopterist Dalibor Povolný, the collector of the holotype .
