Differential diagnosis.
Mimopodabrus eduardi
sp. nov.
seems to be related to
M. lijiangensis
(Wittmer, 1995)
from
Yunnan
and to
M. jendeki
Wittmer, 1997
from
Guizhou
. It differs from them by the impressed antennomeres 3-10 and more or less concave antennomeres 3-5 (cf.
WITTMER 1995b
,
1997
).
Etymology.
