Cyclorhipidion tenuigraphus (Schedl): Beaver and Liu 2010: 24 (as a synonym of C. fukiense).
Type material.
Lectotype Xyleborus tenuigraphus (NHMW).
New records.
China: Yunnan, Lijiang, v.1975, Zhizhong Zhang, ex Pistacia weinmannifolia (NMNH, 1). India: Assam, 4 mi N. Cherrapunji, 1378 m, 3.x.1961, E.S. Rose, D.Q. Cavagnaro (CASC, 1). Vietnam: Cao Bang, 22°34.118'N, 105°52.537'E, 1048 m, 12-17.iv.2014, VN9, Cognato, Smith, Pham, ex FIT (MSUC, 1).
Diagnosis.
2.7-3.0 mm long (mean = 2.84 mm; n = 4); 2.5-3.0 × as long as wide. This species is distinguished by the short, steep declivity that is approximately 25% of total elytral length, armed with large tubercles on interstriae 1 and 3, interstriae 2 granulate on apical 1/3; posterolateral margins rounded; and declivital interstriae 1 and 2 setae in two confused rows (Table 1).
Similar species.
This species is a part of a challenging species group consisting of C. bodoanum, C. distinguendum, C. inarmatum, C. pelliculosum, and C. xeniolum (Table 1).
Distribution.
China (Fujian, Yunnan*), India* (Assam), Vietnam*.
Host plants.
This species has only been recorded from Pistacia ( Anacardiaceae).
Remarks.
In his description Schedl lists the species as 2.3 mm long. The lectotype is 2.7 mm long. Xyleborus tenuigraphum was previously considered a synonym of X. fukiense by Beaver and Liu (2010) based on comparison between the lectotype, a specimen of C. fukiense compared to the holotype by Schedl, and an additional specimen with the same locality data as the homotype but identified by Schedl as X. tenuigraphum . Schedl clearly erred in his identification of his homotype specimen as the two species are distinguished by the characters listed above in the diagnosis and Table 1.
