 This species does not seem to differ in its structural characters 

 from the other two species of Mimemodes (J/, japomts, Reitt., 

 and laticeps, Macl.) in my collection, but it is of comparatively 

 broader and shorter form than either of them, with more promi- 

 nent eyes than japonus (the eyes of laticeps are very much less 

 prominent) and is very different from both by the sides of its 

 head very strongly reflexed (almost like crests) above the eyes.
