Operclipygus granulipectus Caterino & Tishechkin 2013

This species is very similar to the preceding, Operclipygus punctissipygus, differing only in the following characters: length: 1.62–1.93 mm, width: 1.37–1.68 mm; frontal stria complete over antennae; supraorbital stria frequently represented by a few fragments; elytron with outer subhumeral stria absent, stria 1 variably abbreviated from apex, sutural stria longer, present in apical three-fourths, apically continuous with apical marginal elytral stria which extends laterad to near apex of 2nd stria, sometimes connected with it; prosternal keel with carinal striae complete, not shortened anteriorly; not only mesometaventral stria, but actual mesometaventral suture arched strongly forward; anteromedial portion of male metaventral disk shallowly depressed, densely punctate, with extremely fine, scale-like setae in punctures; lateral stria of 1st abdominal ventrite bending laterad behind coxa, but generally fragmented; lacking distinct postcoxal fovea; propygidium and pygidium with ground punctation fine and rather sparse; propygidium with coarser punctures small, sparse, restricted to basal half; pygidium lacking coarse punctures; marginal pygidial stria fine, present only at extreme apex. Male genitalia (Fig. 70G, J): T9 lacking distinct lateral denticle; S9 with apical margin lacking median emargination, apical flange continuous, with basolateral corners strongly prolonged proximad; tegmen narrow, elongate, lacking medioventral process; basal piece nearly one-half tegmen length; else as in Operclipygus impunctipennis.
