Morphostenophanes tuberculatus Gao & Ren, 2009: 315 View Cited Treatment (type locality: Yakou , Pianma, Lushui County, Yunnan, China), fig. 12–14, 40.

Type material examined. Holotype of Morphostenophanes tuberculatus labelled (translated from Chinese): ‘ 2005- 5·19 Lushui Pianma Yakou [handwritten in white label] // 2005-V-19 Yunnan Lushui Pianma Yakou Xiao-Hong Ou Museum of Hebei University [printed label] // Holotype [red label] // Morphostenophane s tuberculatus Gao et Ren, 2009 : Acta Zool. Hung., 55(4): 315-318, figs. 31-38, 40’ (male, MHBU, Fig. 46E View FIGURE 46 ). Examined through two photographs taken by Xing-Long Bai.

Comments. Morphostenophanes tuberculatus has the elytra with densely scattered unevenly sized tubercles, which resemble those of M. chongli chongli and M. chongli glaber . However, these two species are very different in many ways (see comparative notes of M. chongli ) so that they clearly not belong to the same species group. Small body (body length 15.5 mm as mentioned in original publication), carinate apical margin of parameres ( Gao & Ren 2009, Fig. 37 View FIGURE 37 ) in M. tuberculatus suggest potential relation between M. tuberculatus and jendeki -group species.
