Diagnosis.
Body length
5.2–5.8 mm
, maximum body width
3.2–3.5 mm
. Head black. Labrum yellowish. Maxillary palpi, labial palpi yellowish. Pronotum blackish brown, with broad yellowish lateral margins. Elytra black, densely punctate, without traces of series, sutural stria reaching basal half of elytra. Ventral face of pro- and mesofemora pubescent, except at extreme apex.
Male genitalia
(
Fig. 2D
). Aedeagus
1.8 mm
long. Median lobe much shorter than parameres, slightly widening from base to apex, apex widely rounded; gonopore subtriangular, situated subapically; parameres widened and parallel-sided in apical third.
Differential diagnosis.
The aedeagus of this species is very long and hence similar to
C
.
vagum
and
C
.
taiwanense
sp. nov.
Coelostoma wui
can be distinguished from both the latter species by having the parameres widened and nearly parallel-sided in their apical third, and by the apex of the median lobe being rounded.
Bionomics.
The specimens were found under the stones on the border of streams (
Fig. 3B
).
