Diagnosis
Cautires simillimus belongs to a group of mountain species with a uniformly black body (Figs 38, 58). This species resembles C. nervosus and C. maseki sp. nov. in the general appearance, but the males of C. simillimus have long and slender antennal lamellae (Fig. 20) and additionally they differ in the relatively robust, parallel-sided phallus (Fig. 76).
