X-ray microtomography generated 3D models of Aphanerostethus elytra with scales removed, revealing differences in the length of the 10th elytral stria. The yellow and red arrows indicate the base and apex of the 10th elytral stria, respectively A Aphanerostethus bifidus sp. nov. (JHLHY_DAR_092) B A. falcatus sp. nov. (JHLHY_DAR_172) C A. morimotoi sp. nov. (JHLHY_DAR_115) D A. decoratus sp. nov. (JHLHY_DAR_079) E A. distinctus (Morimotoi & Miyakawa, 1985) (OKENT0089414) F A. taiwanus sp. nov. (JHLHY_DAR_070).
