Macrocoma sp.

Material examined (1 spec.). YEMEN: SOCOTRA ISLAND: Kesa env., 220-300 m, yellow traps, N12°39′37″ E53°26′42″, 28.–29.i.2010, 1 ♀, L. Purchart lgt. ( NMPC).

Comments. Related to Macrocoma hulai sp. nov., from which it differs mainly in smaller size (1.8 mm), black labrum, black legs, shorter antennomeres III–VI, absence of a tubercle on the pronotal sides near the anterior edge. I prefer not to describe this species based on a single female specimen, since I do not have the possibility to verify the range of variations of the mentioned characteristics.
