Abstract

The recently collected material of the genus Wakarumbia Bocak, 1999 from Sulawesi revealed a high number of endemic species. Ten new species are recognized: W. aurea sp. nov., W. decepta sp. nov., W. hanae sp. nov., W. hirsuta sp. nov., W. kundratai sp. nov., W. linearis sp. nov., W. obscura sp. nov., W. obstinata sp. nov., W. pendolensis sp. nov. and W. pseudofasciata sp. nov. Their descriptions are provided and male genitalia are figured. The key to males of all 31 species of Wakarumbia is given.
