DISTRIBUTION. — Southern half of New Caledonia.

ETYMOLOGY. — Named for Dr Josef Tumbrinck, whose work had a profound effect on the entire field of tetrigidology. The specific epithet is a Latinized noun in genitive.

DIAGNOSIS. — Vertex nearly three times wider than eye in frontal view. In dorsal view, vertex entirely visible; extending past anterior margin of eyes; rounded anteriorly. Medial carina visible in more than half of vertex length. Anterior margin of pronotum barely triangular. Median carina distinct throughout its length, slightly elevated in prozona. Humeral angles blunt. Pronotal apex wide, three-spined. Dorsal margin of anterior femur convex; ventral margin straight with two small teeth.
