Antenna (Fig. 1) black; pedicel with circlet of yellow apical hairs; first flagellomere rather short, about 0.5 x as long as wide; arista dorsal, black, with very short pubescence. Proboscis brownish black, with blackish hairs; palpus yellow, with yellow hairs and 2 yellow apical bristles. Thorax metallic green with pale gray pollen.

Materials Examined
Type material. Holotype male, Nepal: Gupa Pokali (2900 m) - Chouki (2700 m), 16. vi. 1972, J. Emoto. Paratypes: 2 males, same data as holotype.
Distribution
Distribution.Nepal.
Etymology
Etymology. The specific name refers to the cercus with outer process hook-like apically.
Discussion
Remarks. This new species is somewhat similar to Chrysotimus sanjiangyuanus Wang, Yang and Grootaert from Yunnan of China and C. curvispinus sp. nov. in having the triangular first flagellomere and elongated cercus, but may be separated from sanjiangyuanus by the yellow palpus and short surstylus. In C. sanjiangyuanus, the palpus is dark brown, and the surstylus is very long and thin (Wang, Yang & Grootaert, 2005). In C. curvispinus, coxae II and III are blackish.
