Taxonomic history
Xyleborus tenuigraphus Schedl, 1953c: 29.
Cyclorhipidion tenuigraphus (Schedl): Beaver and Liu 2010: 24 (as a synonym of C. fukiense).
Diagnosis
2.7−3.0 mm long (mean = 2.84 mm; n = 4); 2.5−3.0 times as long as wide. This species is distinguished by the short, steep declivitydeclivity:
downward slope of either the pronotum or elytra
that is approximately 25% of total elytralelytral:
pertaining to the elytra
length, armed with large tuberclestubercle:
a small knob-like or rounded protuberance of the exoskeleton
on interstriaeinterstria:
longitudinal spaces along the elytra between the striae, which is not as<br />
impressed and bear smaller punctures.

This species most closely resembles C. californicum and C. inarmatum.
This species is a part of the challenging C. pelliculosum species group. Species in the group are most easily distinguished by the rows of setaeseta:
small hair-like or scale-like structure
along declivitaldeclivital:
pertaining to the elytral declivity
