Operclipygus remotus Caterino & Tishechkin 2013

This species is extremely similar to Operclipygus lunulus, differing mainly in the following characters: length: 1.65 mm, width: 1.34 mm; anterior submarginal pronotal stria fine, recurved obliquely to about middle of pronotum; lateral region of pronotal disk with few coarse punctures; mesometaventral stria more broadly arched forward on mesoventral disk; propygidial punctures small, round, sparse, separated by at least 2× their diameters throughout; pygidium with coarse punctures restricted to narrow basal marginal band. Male genitalia very similar to those of Operclipygus lunulus (see Figs 32I–K), the aedeagus indistinguishable; S9 only weakly widened toward base (Fig. 33A).
