The new species can be recognized from all other members of the genus by their distinct aedeagal features; Canthysellus omawe sp. nov. and C. yawari sp. nov. differ furthermore from all other members of the genus by their distinct dorsal surface punctation and glabrous prosternal process. A geographic distribution map and a key to all known species of Canthysellus are provided.
