Additional material: 2♀♀: NEW CALEDONIA 12247, 22º09’Sx 166º41’E, 320 m, Houp Geant , 6 May 2005, GB Monteith, GoogleMaps Pyrethrum ♀ Oedichirus mimopilosus n. sp. ♂ Det. 2017 G. de Rougemont [ QM and CRO]; 1♀: Monts Koghis bei Noumea, Neu-Kaledonien, leg.

Description: length: 6-7 mm; length of fore-body: 2.6; length of head: 0.8; breadth of head: 0.9; length of antennae: 1.9; length of pronotum: 1.1; breadth of pronotum; 1.1; length of elytron: 1; breadth of elytra: 1.2. Body piceous or dark brown, palpi, antennae and legs entirely testaceous. Upper surfaces devoid of microsculpture except on keels and grooves of abdominal tergites. Pubescence short, dense, erect on entire body. Habitus: Fig. 27h.

Male: sternite VIII: Fig. 27s8, the apical emargination larger and deeper than in O. pilosus ; aedoeagus: Fig. 27arl, the process of the ventral blade of the aedoeagus of characteristic securiform shape.

Female: sternite IX: Fig. 27vp.

Apart from the averagely slightly greater size of specimens this species is indistinguishable externally from O. pilosus nov.sp., but the sexual characters are quite different.
