Etymology
: The specific epithet (without a fringe) alludes to the absence of fimbriate structures in the internal sac of the aedeagus.
Description
: Habitus as in
Fig. 19
. Punctation of pronotum not more distinct than that of elytra. Other external and male secondary sexual characters as in
C. marasicum
and
C. corruptum
.
: aedeagus (
Fig. 55
) short, broad, and apically truncate, approximately
0.27 mm
long; internal sac with non-fimbriate structures of distinctive shapes; paramere apically extending slightly beyond apex of median lobe, with short apical seta.
Comparative notes
:
Cephennium affimbriatum
is reliably distinguished from other species of the
C. corruptum
group only by the shape and internal structures of the aedeagus.
Distribution and natural history
: The currently known distribution is confined to the environs of Andırın in the west of
Kahramanmaraş province
, central southern
Anatolia
(

). The specimens were sifted from litter of fir, hornbeam, cedar, and other plants, partly between rocks, at altitudes of
1110–1500 m
