Diagnosis. Bolbomiris koghi Gierlasiński & Taszakowski sp. nov. is recognized by the following combination of characters: dorsum brown, hemelytra slightly lighter than pronotum, cuneus reddish in color; scape mostly pale, pronotum uniformly brown; scutellum dark brown with whitish apical part; body length in female 3.10 mm; scape relatively long, in female almost as long as head width, and two times as long as interocular distance; pedicel in female 2.30× as long as head width; anterior margin of pronotum over three times shorter than posterior margin. Description. Female. Body elongate-ovoid, length 3.10 mm (Fig. 3).

Colouration. Dorsum brown, partially light brown. Head brown to reddish. Eyes blackish with reddish parts at edges. Antennae: scape mostly stramineous, darker at base, with a few red spots on inner side (Fig. 3D); pedicel stramineous with darkened apical part (Fig. 3A); flagellum darkened. Labium: all segments yellowish, last one slightly darkened. Pronotum brown (Figs 3A–C). Scutellum dark brown with whitish spot at apex (Figs 3A, B). Hemelytra reddish-brown to brown; clavus dark brown; corium brown to light brown; embolium light brown; R + M vein blackish; cuneus reddish (Fig. 3A); membrane light brown with transparent apical part (Fig. 3C).

Abdomen dark brown to reddish.

Vestiture. Dorsum as well as eyes without setae. Antennae: scape without setae (Figs 3D, 4E), pedicel and flagellomeres with very short setae. Pronotum: without setae. Scutellum without setae. Legs: femora and tibiae with sparse setae, tarsi with dense and long setae (Figs 4D, F).

Texture. Head with longitudinal groove between eyes (Fig. 4A), pronotum densely punctate, except for callar region (Fig. 4B); scutellum impunctate (Figs 3A, B); hemelytra very delicately and irregularly punctate, in some parts impunctate; clavus irregularly punctate, base of R + M vein with row of deep punctures (Figs 3A, B); propleuron impunctate.
