Differential diagnosis. The new species differs from other species of the genus Doliops by monochrome black elytra.

Mimicry. D. nigra sp. n. mimics the weevil Pachyrrhynchus sp. and Metapocyrtus sp. ( Coleoptera : Curculionidae ) ( Fig. 4D ).

Etymology. This species is named after my colleague and friend, the Polish carabidologist Stanislaw Huruk (Jan Kochanowski University, Kielce, Poland) in appreci-ation of cooperation.
