Material examined.

, Xiao-Dong Yang leg., captured from a decay log.
Identification
. This species was described as a subspecies of
Cladophyllus bousqueti
, only differing for the blackish brown body and the strongly curved mandible with 5–6 inner teeth stated as the diagnostic characters. It was raised to species status by
Fujita (2010)
, who listed more differences. A male specimen from southern Yunnan examined by us matches all the characters of
Cladophyllus nobuhikoi
. The examination of the male genitalia proved this species to be different from
C. bousqueti
. It should be noted that Jinping in southern Yunnan is very close to Sapa in northern
Vietnam
and shares the same lucanid fauna.
A female of
Cladophyllus nobuhikoi
was illustrated by
Fujita (2010)
and differs from the female of
C. bousqueti
by the characters of antenna. The female genitalia of
Cladophyllus nobuhikoi
were not previously described.
Distribution.
Southern Yunnan (Fenshuiling Reserve), northern
Vietnam
(Sapa).
