A pale species, body mostly orange, with the front half of the elytra and head a darker reddish orange. Antennae pale testaceous, with antennomeres 5-11 slightly infuscated. Head with moderately long but shallow frontal furrows, reaching approximately the center of the eye, and at least to the anterior supraorbital seta (Fig. 17B); with a groove extending from anterior supraorbital puncture anteriad and mediad to approximately halfway toward the frontal furrow (Fig. 17B). Pronotum convex, narrow, only slightly wider than head (Fig. 10E). Hind angle of pronotum obtuse. Elytra more parallel-sided than T. wilsoni . Striae 2 and 3 shallow, broad, impunctate grooves (Figs 15D, 18A); nearby intervals convex. Stria 5 deeply engraved in anterior half of elytron; stria 5 reaching or nearly reaching the second discal seta (ed5; Fig. 15D). Striae 6 and 7 effaced. Discal setae ed6 apparently in stria 2. Microsculpture without engraved lines; where present on the dorsal surface, the microsculpture is formed as low papillae without defined boundaries (Fig. 18A). Pronotum and head very shiny, virtually without microsculpture. Aedeagus (Figs 19A, 20A) with internal sac sclerites compact, and sinuate, very similar to those of T. wilsoni (Fig. 19B).</p><p>Comparison with related species.</p><p>Likely to be confused only with similarly small and compact T. wilsoni, from which it can be distinguished by the narrower pronotum with less rounded lateral margins, and narrower, less rounded elytra. In addition, T. wilsoni has much shorter frontal furrows, which do not reach the anterior supraorbital seta (Fig. 17A); T. wilsoni also lacks the notable groove extending forward from the anterior supraorbital seta. The elytral striae in T. wilsoni are less evident than in T. baehri: T. baehri has an evident (if shallow and broad) stria 3 between the two anterior discal setae (Figs 15D, 18A), whereas in T. wilsoni it is either absent or extremely faint and shallow (Fig. 15C); stria 5 in T. wilsoni is much shorter, only reaching to around half-way in between the two anterior discal setae (Fig. 15C), as opposed to reaching or nearly reaching the second discal seta (ed5) as it does in T. baehri (Fig. 15D) T. baehri and T. wilsoni look very much like small members of the tribe Tachyini (e.g., Elaphropus, Tachyura). The two Tasmanitachoides can be distinguished by the presence of four setae on the clypeus, as opposed to the two setae present in tachyines.</p><p>Geographic distribution.</p><p>Only known from the Australian Capital Territory (Fig. 21), but very likely occurring in similar habitats in NSW.</p><p>Habitat.</p><p>Collected from pockets of gravelly cobble at the edge of still water of the Murrumbidgee River. The collection locality was amongst riverbank sheoaks ( Allocasuarina) and relatively protected. Specimens were recovered by splashing the gravel bank after removal of cobbles. The species was collected with T. murrumbidgensis, T. rufescens, and a single specimen of T. leai .</p><p>Phylogenetic relationships.</p><p>This species belongs to the Tasmanitachoides kingi species group and appears to be sister to T. wilsoni among the sampled species (Figs 5 - 9).</p><p>Notes.</p><p>This species was called " Tasmanitachoides cf. rufescens " in Maddison et al. (2019).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E93DED16DE9F58DDBCEAD5E300B8C612	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

The third is labeled " Mersey R Vy. Mar. '57 Tas Darlingtons" " Tachys Tasmanitachoides hobarti (Sl.) det Darl. ‘61” . According to the map in Darlington (1960), this locality is at approximately 41.532°S, 146.426°E. These specimens formed Darlington’s concept of Tasmanitachoides hobarti . They also are specimens studied and figured by Erwin (1972) as T. hobarti .</p><p>Type locality.</p><p>Australia: Tasmania: at the mouth of Machinery Creek into the River Forth at road C136, 41.4712°S, 146.1366°E, 126 m.</p><p>Derivation of specific epithet.</p><p>We are honored to name this species after the late Terry Lee Erwin, for his many contributions to carabidology and systematics in general, and to our knowledge of Tasmanitachoides and other bembidarenines in particular.</p><p>Diagnosis and description.</p><p>Length 2.25-2.75 mm (n = 7); most specimens less than 2.6 mm. One of the darker species of Tasmanitachoides (Fig. 1): body piceous to black; appendages piceous, including basal antennomeres, with the exception of the tarsi, which are slightly paler. Body relatively flat and parallel-sided; elytra narrowing posteriorly, and thus more pointed than other species. Head without tubercles at anterior corners of clypeus, and without concave region in anterior half. Frontal furrows (Fig. 17G) more or less straight, reaching backward to approximately the center of the eye, parallel or slightly diverging posteriorly; bottom of furrows rugose. Pronotum relatively narrow (Fig. 12C), slightly sinuate laterally in front of the right or slightly acute hind angle. First stria abruptly sinuate, very close to the suture in the anterior fifth or fourth, at which point it abruptly bends away from the suture. Striae 3 and 4 very weak, almost absent in some specimens; the striae 3 and 4 are joined at the anterior discal seta (ed3; Fig. 16B), and in most specimens are merged in front of that point. Stria 5 distinctly engraved throughout the entire anterior half; in posterior half it gradually weakens toward the rear. Stria 6 consisting of a few isolated punctures; stria 7 absent. Discal setae ed6 in stria 3. Microsculpture weak, sculpticells weakly engraved, and thus the surface is shiny; sculpticells isodiametric on head and pronotum, slightly longitudinally stretched on elytra (Fig. 18B). Aedeagus (Figs 19C, 20B, C) with internal sac sclerites elongated and relatively straight, very similar to those of T. sp. "Lerderderg R" (Fig. 19D). Ventral surface of the aedeagus quite straight (Fig. 20B, C).</p><p>Comparison with related species.</p><p>As with other members of the Tasmanitachoides wattsensis group, this species has a relatively unmodified clypeus, without anterior lateral tubercles, and with the third and fourth elytral striae nearly effaced. Its darker color (including the entirely piceous antenna) and flatness distinguish it from other members of the group. It is the only known species of the group from Tasmania. From the other two large and dark Tasmanitachoides from Tasmania, T. hobarti and T. leai, T. erwini is distinguished by having a darker antennomere 1 and flatter body. From T. hobarti it is further distinguished by the much weaker striae 3 and 4; from T. leai by the longer stria 5.</p><p>Geographic distribution.</p><p>Only known from northwestern Tasmania (Fig. 21).</p><p>Habitat.</p><p>At the type locality, members of this species were found during daylight hours in fine gravel on the banks of Mineral Creek at its mouth into the River Forth (Fig. 2C); specimens were found after splashing the gravel with water. The banks had no visible vegetation. Present in the same habitat were Tasmanitachoides leai, T. kingi, and T. sp. "River Forth".</p><p>Phylogenetic relationships.</p><p>This species belongs to the Tasmanitachoides wattsensis species group, and appears to be the sister to T. sp. "Lerderderg R" among the sampled species (Figs 5 - 9).</p><p>Notes.</p><p>This is the species illustrated by Erwin (1972) as T. hobarti . This is evident both by the localities of the specimens he examined (as the localities match Darlington’s), and because of the figures themselves, including the features of the genitalia, which match those of this species rather than T. hobarti . The male genitalia of " Tasmanitachoides hobarti " figured in Baehr (1990: Fig. 12) is of this species as well. Some specimens from the type series (collected 14 January 2019) are teneral.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/BC7D7FFF74C25896A285A134C22A8F60	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
