Cautires testaceus (Pic, 1921) , comb. n.

Bulenides testaceus Pic, 1921: 8 .

Type material. Male. Holotype. [ Myanmar] India, Pegu (= Bago) ( MHNP).

Differential diagnosis. C. testaceus has slightly smaller eyes than C. yunnanus , which is similar in general appearance. The robust phallus enable reliable identification of this species ( Fig. 30 ).

Description. Male. Body small, slender, dark-brown to black, only pronotum and elytra reddish brown and covered with brightly coloured pubescence. Head small, partly hidden in pronotum. Eyes large, hemispherically prominent, their frontal interocular distance 1.53 times eye diameter. Antennae shortly flabellate, 11-segmented, densely covered with short setae. Pronotum flat, 1.17 times longer at midline than width at base; frontal margin concave; with slender median areola, attached to middle of the basal margin of pronotum, posterior angles acutely projected. Elytra flat, with well developed four primary longitudinal costae; secondary costae considerably weaker, cells regular. Legs laterally flattened, covered with light coloured setae. Male genitalia as in Fig. 30 . Female unknown.

Measurements. BL 6.15 mm, PL 1.04 mm, PW 1.24 mm, HW 1.62 mm, Edist 0.54 mm, Ediam 0.35 mm.

Distribution. Southern Myanmar. Although Kleine (1933) reports this species also from Laos, Penang, and India, we have not found this species in any collection from these regions.
