Genus Conexicoxa Lin, 1986 View in CoL , stat. resurr.

Type species: Conexicoxa homora Lin, 1986 .

DIAGNOSIS. Beetles with narrow (body length to width ratio is 2.7–2.9) or wide body (body length to width ratio is 1.7–2.2). Integument with single type of medium-size (0.02–0.04 mm in diameter), or, less common, small (0.01–0.02 mm in diameter) tubercles ( Fig. 29 View Figs 29–31 ). Antennae filiform or weakly serrated ( C. denticollis ). Pronotum trapezoid, pronotal disc bears mesal cordate protuberance. Elytral humerus sloping, not protruding laterally (except С. psilata ), epipleural margin gradually curving along its length, epipleuron wide (except in С. siniestri and С. exigua which have narrow epipleuron), gradually, weakly narrowing or almost not narrowing apically, elytral veins 2 and 3 curving towards sutural margin, not forming straight parallel rows, could merge together before reaching elytral apex. Abdomen not narrowing basally ( Fig. 58 View Figs 57–60 ).

REMARKS. Conexicoxa was previously treated as a junior synonym of Notocupes ( Ponomarenko et al., 2012) , but restored as separated genus in the present study for Notocupes species with trapezoid pronotum and curved epipleural margin.
