Originally Heller described P. aurofasciatus and P. aurofasciatus var. dilatisignatus from the Basilan Island, showing on sympatry of both. We observed series of specimens that correspond morphologically to type species from Western Mindanao, Zamboanga province. Therefore, we add this new record to current species distribution range. Sympatrical specimens found in Zamboanga province match in various degree the pattern of both P. aurofasciatus and P. aurofasciatus var. dilatisignatus having the only difference of pattern of elytral spots that vary in size (narrow in P. aurofasciatus and wide in P. aurofasciatus var. dilatisignatus). Having found no more morphological or geographical difference, we consider P. aurofasciatus var, dilatisignatus as synonym of monotypic P. aurofasciatus.	en	Bramanti, Alessandro, Bramanti, Andrea, Bārbale, Anita Rukmane - (2020): Five new species of the genus Polycatus Heller, 1912 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Polycatini) from the Mindanao Island (Philippines), and new examples of mimicry among weevil genera.

(Fig. 9.6 - 10). Differential analysis. The new species is similar to P. eupholoides, P. mimicus sp. nov., P. bramanti sp. nov. by it’s distinctly rounded elytra with moderately deep puncture rows (except P. bramanti sp. nov. with smooth elytra). The new species may be easily distinguished from P. eupholoides and P. mimicus sp. nov. by very large bulge on rostrum as well as unique scally markings on elytra.

Legs covered with coppery to metallic scales in all length. Aedeagus as in Fig. 8.6 - 8. Female unknown. Differential analysis. This new species on the general appearance is similar to P. waoensis sp. nov., by it’s large bulge on the rostrum, but is easily distinguishable by the lack of scale spots on elytra and transverse line along basal margin of prothorax, that is continuous, without extension medially on disc. Additionally, elytra of P. bramanti sp. nov. lacking intervals on elytra unlike in P. waoensis sp. nov..	en	Bramanti, Alessandro, Bramanti, Andrea, Bārbale, Anita Rukmane - (2020): Five new species of the genus Polycatus Heller, 1912 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Polycatini) from the Mindanao Island (Philippines), and new examples of mimicry among weevil genera.
