- mesosternum almost as punctured and sculptured as prosternai process; - metasternum weakly depressed along median line, with comparable punctation and sculpture at both middle and sides; - femora and tibiae comparatively narrower; - male protarsus about half as wide as protibia. C. (M.) mimicus sp. n. has: - body in general more robust with elytra about 5/6 as long as combined width; - dorsum with deeper and larger punctures, much larger than eye facets and separated by about or less than a puncture diameter, with interspaces more conspicuously microreticulated; - prosternai process wider than antennái club, widely rounded at apex, with punctures smaller and sparser than those on the remainder of presternum and smooth interspaces; - mesosternum with punctures larger and denser than on prosternai process and with contrasting microreticulation of interspaces; - metasternum comparatively deeply depressed along median line, punctures smaller and sparser in the middle, but interspaces smoother here than at sides; - femora and tibiae comparatively wider; - male protarsus about 2/3 as wide as protibia. Etymology - This new species is named in honour of PIERRE JOLIVET, collector of a part of the type series, who provided the author with many interesting specimens.
