Tauberella hirta Stehlík & Jindra 2008, comb. nov.

(Fig. 22)

Delacampius hirtus Blöte, 1933: 558.

Delacampius hirtus: STEHLÍK & KERZHNER (1999): 122 (generic placement); CASSIS & GROSS (2002): 625 (catalogue, distribution, ecology).

Type material examined. HOLOTYPE: ♀, AUSTRALIA: NORTHERN TERRITORY: Darwin (BMNH).

Taxonomic note. Reexamination of the holotype revealed that this species does not belong to the genus Delacampius, but to Tauberella Schmidt, 1932, sharing the following essential characters of the latter genus: callar lobe distinctly hairy and strongly gibbous with ornamental impressions, and strongly constricted basally compared with the pronotal lobe; the latter without lateral margins. Thus, we establish the following new combination: Tauberella hirta (Blöte, 1933) comb. nov.

Comparative note. CASSIS & GROSS (2002) mentioned that Delacampius hirtus also occurs in New Guinea. However, the New Guinea Tauberella belongs to another species, T. papuensis Schmidt, 1932. Both species differ in the following characters: T. papuensis (Fig. 23) has the corium blackish brown except the costal margin, the adjacent part of the corial cleft and a narrow stripe parallel with the apical margin of the corium pale, impressions on the callar lobe are more distinct, and the pubescence slightly shorter than in T. hirta. In T. hirta (Fig. 22), the corium is pale with the median black spot coalescent with the black stripe running along the claval suture.

Distribution. Australia, Northern Territory (BLÖTE 1933, CASSIS & GROSS 2002).
