Sisyphus genierorum Montreuil, 2015 (Figs. 5, 6C).

Montreuil 2015a: 91, 93, 99–100

Type locality: Quirimbas National Park, Mareja (Cabo Delgado, Moçambique) Size: Male: length: 10–8.0 mm, width: 5.5– 5 mm. Female: length: 9.5– 8.5 mm, width: 5.0– 4.7 mm.

Diagnosis: S. genierorum resembles S. sordidus . In both species, tufts of epipleural setae are visible from above at the outer margin of the elytra (Fig. 5H); also, pronotal setae arise from the centre of ocellate punctures. However, S. genierorum differs by the much finer and uniformly arranged setae on the elytral interstriae. It is also much larger than S. sordidus .
