Torunotum hirsutum Gierlasiński & Taszakowski sp. nov.
Figs. 7–9 View FIGURE 7 View FIGURE 8 View FIGURE 9
Diagnosis: Torunotum hirsutum Gierlasiński & Taszakowski sp. nov. is recognised by the following combination of characters: dorsum brown to yellowish brown with uniformly yellowish head, antennae and stramineous legs; pronotum uniformly punctate; posterior pronotal angles distinctly brighter than the rest of pronotum, with poorly developed calli; lateral margins of scutellum distinctly brighter, contrasting with clavus, body length in male 3.04 mm; scape short, in male 0.29x as long as head width, 0.58x as long as interocular distance; pedicel in male 1.53x as long as head width; vertex medially slightly depressed; pedicel, pronotum, scutellum and hemelytra with long setae.
Description:
Male: Body elongate-ovoid, length 3.00 ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 ).
Colouration. Dorsum: brown to yellowish brown. Head: uniformly yellowish. Eyes: blackish, tinted red at the edges. Antennae: scape, pedicel and flagellum yellowish ( Fig. 7A View FIGURE 7 ). Labium: all segments yellowish ( Fig. 7C View FIGURE 7 ). Pronotum: collar medially yellowish brown; callosite region brown; disc mostly dark brown with posterior pronotal angles cream white ( Fig. 7B View FIGURE 7 ). Mesoscutum: brown ( Fig. 7C View FIGURE 7 ). Scutellum: mostly brown, yellowish-white at the lateral edges. Hemelytra: brown to yellowish brown; clavus uniformly brown; corium brown to yellowish brown; embolium yellowish; R + M dark red; cuneus brown, with a lightened lateral edge and a blurred, yellowish spot in the middle; membrane light brown ( Fig. 7A View FIGURE 7 ). Thoracic pleura and MTG: propleuron, mesepimeron, mesepisternum and metepisternum various shades of brown; metepisternal evaporative area in anterior part light brown, in posterior part yellowish, peritreme ivory ( Fig. 7C View FIGURE 7 ). Legs: all legs yellowish, the femora of the hind legs with a light brown band ( Fig. 7C View FIGURE 7 ). Abdomen: yellowish in the middle part, brown at the lateral edges ( Fig. 7C View FIGURE 7 ).
Vestiture. Dorsum covered with long yellowish setae. Eyes without setae ( Fig. 8A View FIGURE 8 ). Antennae: scape with few short setae ( Fig. 8A View FIGURE 8 ); pedicel with dense, straight setae, almost as long as the thickness of the segment ( Fig. 8H View FIGURE 8 ), flagellum with dense, long setae, often longer than thickness of segments ( Fig. 8I View FIGURE 8 ). Pronotum: with long, lying and semi-erected setae ( Fig. 8F View FIGURE 8 ). Scutellum: with long, lying and semi-erected setae ( Fig. 8F View FIGURE 8 ). Legs: with sparse, straight setae.
Texture. Head ( Fig. 8A, B View FIGURE 8 ), pronotum punctate, except callosite region ( Fig. 8B, G View FIGURE 8 ); scutellum and hemelytra impunctate ( Fig. 8F View FIGURE 8 ); clavus and base of R + M with a row of punctures; propleuron punctate ( Fig. 8F View FIGURE 8 ).
Structure. Antennae: scape 0.29x as long as head width, 0.58x as long as interocular distance; scape and pedicel distinctly thicker than flagellum, pedicel 1.53x as long as head width, 0.90x as long as maximal width of pronotum. Pronotum: mesal length 0.56x as long as the maximal width of pronotum. Hemelytra: Fig. 7A, C View FIGURE 7 . Thoracic pleura and MTG: Fig. 8C View FIGURE 8 . Legs: Fig. 7A–C View FIGURE 7 .
Male genitalia. Pygophore weakly asymmetrical ( Fig. 9A View FIGURE 9 ), aedeagus with endosoma mostly membranous, multilobed ( Fig. 9B View FIGURE 9 ), left paramere C-shaped, sensory lobe swollen, with very long setae, as long as the width of sensory lobe; apophysis sinuate with apex reflexed and expanded ( Fig. 9C–F View FIGURE 9 ); right paramere: lateral edges almost parallel, left side with a small projection basally ( Fig. 9G View FIGURE 9 ).

Antenna. Length of antennomere I: 0.19; II: 1.01; III: 0.18; IV: 0.20.
Pronotum. Mesal length: 0.63; posterior pronotal maximal width (straight): 1.12.
Scutellum. Anterior width: 0.55; mesal length: 0.44.

Material examined: Holotype: ♂ “ New Caledonia (S) \ Bois du Sud , 160 m \ 22°10.5’S 166°45.8’E \ 23.12.2006, at light \ leg. R. Dobosz ” \\ 5915/5724 \\ MB0408343 . The holotype is deposited in MNHN GoogleMaps .
Biology: Unknown. The specimen was attracted to a light trap (bulb “MIX”- type 250 W, E40) (6B, C).
Distribution: Torunotum hirsutum Gierlasiński & Taszakowski sp. nov., is known only from the type locality in New Caledonia ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ).
Etymology: The species is named from the Latin hirsutum (hairy), referring to long setae covering the entire body.
