Lycid mimic + model2015-7-7csnga_6525c

The one on the right is a new genus of ightning beetle (family Lampyridae) found in Cosanga, Napo, Ecuador, 2100 meters elevation. It is pictured with a lycid beetle (on left) that is similarly colored and in the vast 10-family, multi-species, orange & black mimicry ring that I have discovered in this locale.
