Description
Wakarumbia hirsuta sp. nov.
(Figs 7–8)
Type material. Holotype. W. Sulawesi, 25 km E of Mamasa (Kalama), 1100 m, 119.28.39E 3.02.10S, 1.–3. July 2001, Bolm lgt. (LMBC).
Differential diagnosis. W. hirsuta sp. nov. resembles W. equalis Bocak, 2001 in the relative size of eyes and body coloration. These species can easily be distinguished by the differently rotated apical part of the phallus (Figs 7–8). Additionally, the pronotum of W. hirsuta is much shorter than the pronotum of W. equalis (the width: length ratio is 1.52 and 1.23 in the respective species).
Description. Body small-sized, slender, uniformly dark brown to black, without any bright patch in elytra, only mouthparts slightly lighter brown. Head small, partly hidden by pronotum, eyes hemispherically prominent, quite small, interocular distance 1.06 times maximum eye diameter. Antennae compressed, antennomeres 3–11 parallel-sided to slightly serrate, antennomere 3 2.4 times longer than maximum width, apical antennomeres apparently slenderer. Pronotum flat, 1.52 times wider than long. Elytra parallel-sided, 3.36 times longer than width at humeri. Phallus slender, slightly rotated in apical half, with short basal tubular part (Figs 7–8).
Measurements. BL 5.60 mm, HW 1.4 mm, PL 0.66 mm, PW 1.00 mm, EL 4.7 mm, Ediam 0.35 mm, Edist 0.37 mm.
Distribution. Sulawesi, the Mamasa valley.
Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the dense recumbent vestiture on elytra.
