Cinnamus inexpectatus Josifov, 1978: 279 View in CoL

Acrorrhinium inexpectatum Kerzhner, 1988: 72 View in CoL ; Schuh, 1995: 214 Specimens examined: CHINA: Hebei Province: 2 males, Wulingshan Mountain (40°36'N, 117°29'E), Xinglong County, 28. VIII. 1973, Sheng-li Liu leg..

Diagnosis: Recognized by the ant-mimetic appearance ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 1 – 7 ), the brown coloration of the dorsum with many small irregular spots, the light yellow-brown membrane with its veins distinctly visible, the longitudinal sulcus on the vertex not reaching the posterior margin of the vertex, the elongate spiniform frons with the apex weakly curved and tapering ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 8 – 11 ), the extremely long labium almost reaching the abdominal segment VII, the head and hemelytra covered with sparse, short, sericeous setae and simple setae, the relatively small scutellum with the central part weakly convex, and the male genitalia: vesica strongly sclerotized, twisted, apex with a slender and bifurcate projection, secondary gonopore well developed ( Fig. 24 View FIGURES 24 – 27 ); hypophysis of left paramere slender, weakly curved with apex blunt ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 24 – 27 ), right paramere leaflike, lamellate ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 24 – 27 ), phallotheca weakly curved ( Fig. 27 View FIGURES 24 – 27 ). It is most similar to A. rhinoceros Distant in coloration and body appearance, but can be separated from the latter by the form of its spiniform frons and the structure of the male genitalia; spiniform frons of A. rhinoceros relatively small, short, and blunt.

Distribution: China (Beijing, Hebei); North Korea.
