Name

Uloma caledonica Kaszab, 1982 – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile

• Uloma caledonica Kaszab, Folia Entomologica Hungarica 18: 87.

Type locality

Saint Louis, Forêt de Thi.

Type specimens

Holotype male (BPBM). Paratypes: 11 males and 10 females (BPBM), two males and one female (USNM), three males (IRSNB), none examined; one male, original label: “Nouvelle-Calédonie, 1893, Coll. Ed. Fleutiaux” (MNHN); one male, original label: “Nouvelle-Calédonie” (Hnhm), both examined.

Diagnosis

Uloma caledonica is one of the four species of the group in which the mentum of the male is completely glabrous and flat. It differs from these three species (Uloma jourdani, Uloma isoceroides and Uloma kergoati) by the longer metaventrite (between meso- and metacoxae approximately as long as a mesocoxa), the humeri slightly developed, the elytral striae of punctures strongly marked and developed to apex, and the pronotal punctation barely visible. The shape of the aedeagus is also unique among the New Caledonian Uloma species, with the parameres bottleneck-shaped and triangularly notched at the apex.

Distribution

Kaszab (1982: 87) cited this species from the following localities:
Saint-Louis (Forêt de Thi), Rivière Bleue (Yaté), La Couèle-Yaté Rd., Mt Koghi, Nouméa, Île des Pins. “Neukaledonien (Grande Terre SO, Île des Pins)”.
