Remarks.

Delobel and Legalov (2009) described this species based on a single male. We examined a female specimen and found that its antennae are serrated and are slightly longer than half of the body length (Fig. 35, 41, 42). Additionally, the elytra of the female are almost yellow, with the exception of a black, elongate triangular area, which extends from the base to one-third of the elytral suture (Fig. 35) corresponding to main distinguishing characters of a single known male of Kytorhinus kergoati .
