Remarks.
Cangshanaltica ogatai
is the only species described, so far, which has an elytral pattern with multiple spots. This coloration is uncommon among
Cangshanaltica
species
distributed in continental Asia. Species with a similar color pattern are distributed also in
Taiwan
, however, we hesitate to either assign them to
C. ogatai
or describe them as a new species (see comments below).
