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 ).

Measurements BL 7.0 mm, PL 1.1 mm , PW 1.5 mm , HW 1.0 mm, Edist 0.50 mm , Ediam 0.45 mm , LP 0.9 mm . Distribution Peninsular Malaysia : Pahang . The species occurs exclusively in the high mountains in the Cameron Highlands.

The newly identified specimens were collected in the type locality and the species is common in the Cameron Highlands .
