1.2 mm
. Habitus as in
Fig. 21
. Punctation of pronotum only slightly more distinct than that of elytra. Eye rudiments very small, composed of approximately 3 weakly defined ommatidia. Other external and male secondary sexual characters as in
C. marasicum
and
C. corruptum
.

Fig. 51
) short, broad, and apically truncate, approximately
0.33 mm
long; internal sac with weakly sclerotized non-fimbriate structures of distinctive shapes; paramere apically extending to apex of median lobe, with short apical seta.
Comparative notes
:
Cephennium nemruticum
is reliably distinguished from other species of the
C. corruptum
group only by the shape and internal structures of the aedeagus.

: The type locality is situated in Nemrut Dağı,
Adıyaman province
, central southern
Anatolia
