Diagnosis

Cautires andujari sp. nov. belongs to a group of mountain species with a uniformly black upper side of the body. The species is similar in general appearance to Cautires maseki sp. nov., but differs in the length of the male antennal lamellae ( Figs 4, 15 View Figs 2–20 ) and the shape of the phallus ( Figs 60, 71 View Figs 59–78 ).

Etymology

The specific epithet is honour of Carmelo Andújar Fernandéz, a specialist in the ecology of ground beetles.
