X-ray microtomography generated 3D models of Aphanerostethus pronota with scales removed, revealing otherwise hidden differences in underlying puncture morphology A–C Aphanerostethus distinctus (Morimoto & Miyakawa, 1985) (OKENT0089414, JHLHY_DAR_071, and 062, respectively) D–F Aphanerostethus falcatus sp. nov. (JHLHY_DAR_167, 170, and 172, respectively).
