Comparative notes. Morphostenophanes tanikadoi is unique among jendeki -group species by having slender body with strongly shiny green luster, elytral sculpture consisting of sparsely scattered short segments of striae connecting few deep punctures, sometimes varied into sharply marked large pits, intervals only weakly convex. M. tanikadoi and M. minor may be closely related by sharing similar habitus, but can be easily distinguished by their different body color, different elytral sculpture, and shorter legs. Detailed discussion see in the comments of M. minor .
