( Fig. 2 ) Type locality . Alaungdaw Katthapa NP , Sagaing Division, Myanmar . Type material . Holotype male ( NMW ): " MYANMAR : Sagaing Division // Alaungdaw Katthapa NP // 22°19.113'N 94°28.518'E // 13.5.2003 , ca. 350 m // leg. Schillhammer et al. (122)"; genitalia extracted and mounted on a transparent card, abdominal tergites mounted on the same card, pinned with the specimen; plus red holotype label. Paratypes. 5 exx ( NMW ): same data as holotype, with red paratype labels . Description . Holotype : length 3.7 mm , width 2.1 mm ; paratypes : length 3.7-4.2 mm , width 2.1-2.2 mm . Body black, oval. Antennae, other cephalic appendages and legs dark brown, protibiae darker. Head: Eye margin weak, with a small denticle by insertion of antennae; with a very narrow supra-ocular sulcus. Eyes slightly prominent. Puncturation on head uniformly fine and very dense; space between punctures smaller than their diameter. Two types of golden pubescence, one long, erect, a second short, very dense, recumbent. Pubescence on frons orientated towards clypeum; pubescence on the lateral and basal areas orientated towards vertex. Pronotum: Transvere, slightly narrower than base of elytra, lateral margins regularly and slightly curved. Very finely bordered; border narrowing towards base, in which it becomes almost unappreciable. Puncturation similar to that on head, denser on disc, less dense on margins, very uniform; spaces between punctures wider than diameter. Two types of setae, one long (much longer than on head), erect and castaneous; a second shorter, anteriorly recumbent, golden. The recumbent setae forming a weakly defined pattern. Elytra: Disk with double puncturation, one very fine and dense, a second coarser, more irregular but with some series forming incipient 4-5 series, especially in the disc. Elytral pubescence double, similar to that of pronotum; erect setae darker, recumbent setae generally golden, but in some areas darker (colour depends on angle of incidence of light). Recumbent seta with a zig-zag pattern, orientated towards apex. Elytra bordered; border stronger in humerus and less marked apically, almost indistinguishable at apex. Membranous wings well developed. Venter: Black; abdominal ventrites with a marginal brownish area, last abdominal ventrite castaneous. Venter fully pubescence except hypomeras, which are glabrous. Prosternum strongly encased into mesosternum. Prosternum finely and densely puncturated, margins bordered; mesosternum small, finely and densely punctured; metasternum with puncturation similar to mesosternum. Puncturation simple. Glandular pores in 4th abdominal sternite only. Aedeagus ( Fig. 2 ): Distal part of parameres and lateral sides of median lobe with a marked transverse reticulation, giving an overall dull appearance. Apex of parameres very narrow, with a deep emargination; with a denticular process in the medial part. Comparative notes . The presence of reticulation in the aedeagus is unique among the known species of Caccothryptus . Among the species of the C. compactus group, the species can be easily distinguished by its narrow parameters in ventral view ( Fig. 2 B), leaving a broad space between the median lobe and the apex of the parameters (see Figs 11-14 in Hernando & Ribera 2014 ). Etymology . Named after Harald Schillhammer, collector of the type series and specialist in Staphylinidae (and mineralogy). Distribution . So far only known from the type locality.
