Cautires aridus Kleine , (1926b), comb. n.

Bulenides aridus Kleine, 1926b: 152 .

Type material. Male, holotype. [ Malaysia] Penang, G. E. Bryant, x. 1913 (without further data) ( BMNH). Remark. Pronotum of C. aridus has well apparent frontal ridges in the pronotum and only lateral ridges are absent. The pronotum does not remind neither of the species groups proposed to replace former concept of Bulenides . The pronotum is flat, without characteristically elevated lateral parts of pronotum and lateral margins are parallel-sided in contrast to both species groups.

Cautires basalis ( Pic, 1925b) , comb. n.

Bulenides basalis Pic, 1925b: 7 .

Remark. The type of C. basalis was not available for the study and we place this species provisionally in Cautires without an assignment to the species group.

Cautires dubius ( Waterhouse, 1879) , comb. n.

Lycus dubius Waterhouse, 1879: 35 .

Type material. Ƥ holotype. [ Malaysia] Borneo (without further data) ( BMNH). Remark. Similarly with C. aridus , this species has developed, although weak, frontal ridges in the pronotum and only lateral ridges are absent. The pronotum does not resemble neither of the species groups proposed to replace former concept of Bulenides . The uncertainty of the placement in Bulenides was expressed already by Waterhouse (1879) in the specific epithet.
