REMARK

I separate here a Cophonemobius juvenile which presents a colouration pattern similar to that of C. faustini n. sp., except for: tergites 2 and 3 dorsally whitish, with 3 distinct brown spots along anterior margin, one median and two lateral; tergites 5 and 6 brown with whitish zigzag patterns; pronotum dorsal disc largely whitish, with a transverse band along anterior margin separate from posterior whitish area by a light brown line; anterior and still more posterior margins marked with dark brown. The status of this specimen will have to be reconsidered after additional sampling.
