Etymology. This species is named for one of the enthusiastic supporters of this study, Hana Kim. She is one of the first author’ s colleagues and assisted with molecular components of the phylogenetic analysis.

Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from the other species of the insignis speciesgroup by the following combination of characters: body length 2.2–2.4 mm; temporal lobe of male head distinctly projecting, exceeding eye, with C-shaped ventral surface; male temporal lobe with L-shaped depression anteriorly; ventral surface of male head with transverse process behind mouthparts and round depression bearing three patches of dense setae; male elytra rectangular, female elytra subquadrate; shape of antennomeres and genitalia unique to species.

Description. Length 2.2–2.4 mm. Body brown, antennae, legs, maxillary palpi, and elytra paler (Fig. 68s). Head: Male head triangular, widest across temples (Fig. 69s). Female head bluntly triangular, widest across eyes. Antennomere 1 approximately 1.5 times longer than wide, 2 subquadrate, 3–8 longer than wide, 9–10 subquadrate. Frontal sulcus deep, reaching midpoint of eye. Anterior frontal fovea round, partially covered by frontal rostrum, posterior frontal fovea round. Eye prominent, approximately one-third length of temple. Temporal lobe of male head distinctly projecting, exceeding eye, with C-shaped ventral surface (Fig. 69s). Male temporal lobe with L-shaped depression anteriorly (Fig. 69s). Ventral surface of male head with transverse process behind mouthparts and round depression bearing 3 patches of dense setae (Fig. 69s). Thorax: Prosternum as long as wide, widest at one-third length. Male elytra rectangular (Fig. 68s), female elytra subquadrate. Male meso- and metathorax trapezoidal, longer than wide, female as long as wide. Abdomen: Male tergite IV with pair of small round patches of microtrichia, patches absent in female. Aedeagus: Median lobe of genitalia widest at middle, with round apical lobe (Fig. 70s). Phallobase of median lobe symmetrical and rounded (Fig. 70s). Parameres symmetrical and triangular, setose from midpoints to apices (Fig. 70s).

Distribution. Rangitikei, Wairarapa, Wellington (Fig. 74: black circles).

Habitat. One specimen was collected by sifting forest litter from a broadleaf and podocarp forest.
