Sisyphus genierorum Montreuil, 2015 View in CoL ( Figs. 5 View Fig , 6C View Fig ).
Montreuil 2015a: 91, 93, 99–100
Type locality: Quirimbas National Park, Mareja (Cabo Delgado, Moçambique) Size: Male: length: 10–8.0 mm, width: 5.5– 5 mm. Female: length: 9.5– 8.5 mm, width: 5.0– 4.7 mm.
Diagnosis: S. genierorum resembles S. sordidus . In both species, tufts of epipleural setae are visible from above at the outer margin of the elytra ( Fig. 5H View Fig ); also, pronotal setae arise from the centre of ocellate punctures. However, S. genierorum differs by the much finer and uniformly arranged setae on the elytral interstriae. It is also much larger than S. sordidus .
