Diagnosis

Cautires reverandi belongs to a group of species with a bright humeral part of the elytra (Fig. 57), a reddish pubescence on the pronotum (Fig. 37) and big eyes. It differs from the superficially similar species C. renatae sp. nov. in the shorter lamella of the antennomere 3 (Figs 18–19) and in the very wide phallus (Figs 74–75).

Distribution

Peninsular Malaysia: Perak, Pahang, Kelantan. Cautires reverandi is a widely distributed species in the Cameron Highlands region.

Remark

The holotype of C. reverandi is a female and the comparison with other species is limited to the general appearance. We identified a series of very similar specimens from several localities in the lowlands and lower mountain forests in the region, which we identified as C. reverandi . Our association of the female type and the newly collected individual from Malay inland as the same species is additionally supported by a common occurrence in the region.
