Lateral sides of pronotum often weakly flattened. Antennae shorter, with only 3 apical antennomeres extending beyond base of pronotum, reaching 1/4 of elytral length. Elytral intervals flat. Abdominal ventrite 5 with one deep round and 2 weak elongate depressions, weakly pubescent in apical part, with long hairs only on margin.
Etymology. Latin “ evestigata ” is translated as “found”, “found out”. This refer to the fact that specimens of the new species were discovered among those of similar O. torosica .
Bionomics. Adult specimens of this species were collected on trunks of Cedrus and Abies between 20:00 and 23:00.
Diagnosis. The new species is similar to O. torosica and O. zoltani , but differs from them by the following characters: anal abdominal ventrite with dense (in males) or not dense (in females) long hairs on surface or apex (both other species have bare anal ventrite, or regularly covered by simple setae in O. zoltani ); anterior angles of pronotum visibly projected (anterior angles in O. torosica and O. zoltani not projected); metatibiae of male are with only simple setaetion on inner side (they are densely pubescent by long suberected hairs on inner side in O. zoltani and O. torosica ).

Description, male. Body length 10.2–12.5 mm, body width 3.8–4.7 mm. Body moderately slender, with weakly shining, sometimes dull, dark-brown,. Head widest at level of eyes. Eyes large, convex. Ratio of head width at eyes to distance between eyes: 1.6. Genae strongly rounded. Lateral margin of head between gena and clypeus with distinct emargination. Punctation of head moderately coarse, dense: diameter of punctures more than distance between punctures. Antennae long (reaching 1/3 of elytral length, 1.1 × as short as elytra), with 4 apical antennomeres extending beyond base of pronotum. Pronotum transverse (1.24–1.36 × as wide as long), widest before middle, 1.45 × as wide as head. Lateral margins weakly rounded, sometimes shortly sinuate in base. Anterior margin straight or widely emarginated; base weakly rounded. Anterior angles obtuse, not projected, widely rounded on apex; posterior angles obtuse, narrowly rounded on apex. All margins of pronotum narrowly beaded. Disc regularly weakly convex (rarely with weakly flattened lateral sides). Punctation of disc fine, not dense; distance between punctures 1.5–2 × as wide as diameter of punctures, punctures round. Hypomera narrowly flattened on lateral margin, with fine, smooth wrinkles. Elytra moderately convex, widest at middle (1.65–1.8 × as long as wide), 1.2–1.3 × as wide and 2.7–2.9 × as long as pronotum, 1.7 × as wide as head. Strial punctures merged in entire deep furrows. Elytral intervals flat or weakly convex, with moderately coarse not dense punctation and small distinct tubercles apically and laterally. Epipleural carina completely visible dorsally; epipleura reaching sutural angle of elytra, not flattened (epipleuron thickened) on apex. Narrow inner carina of epipleura not reaching elytral apex. Some populations have mucron on elytral apex. Lateral margins of elytra sinuate or not sinuate near apex (accordingly mucron present or absent). Ventral side of body bare. Abdominal ventrites 1–4 with fine and sparse punctation. Ventrite 1 without hair brush; ventrite 5 convex, with finer and denser punctation, without pubescence, with shallow longitudinal depression apically, completely beaded. Legs. Femora smooth and shining on inner side, not pubescent. Protibiae straight, with 4–7 teeth on inner side; mesotibiae straight (rarely curved inwards), without teeth or with 2–3 weak granules (population from Arslanköy) or with 2–3 distinct teeth (populations from eastern part of range: İçel—Çamlıyayla, Gülekboğazı, Kayseri—Çadıryeri); metatibiae straight or weakly curved, without teeth or granules, with dense and long pubescence of subrecumbent hairs. Each trochanter with one long setae.
Description, female. Body length 10–14.7 mm, body width 4.2–6.2 mm. Body more robust. Pronotum widest at middle (rarely behind middle). Abdominal ventrite 5 not convex, bare, with not deep round depression apically.
Etymology. The name “ torosica ” derives from Turkish ‘Toros Dağları’ (Taurus Mountains).
Bionomics. The species was found at night (20:00–1:00) on trunks of Juniperus excelsa .
Diagnosis. Odocnemis torosica sp. n. is similar to O. zoltani , from which it differs by the following characters: metaventrite and abdominal ventrites bare (they are regularly pubescent with short recumbent hairs in O. zoltani ); body slender (at least in males), monochrome, dark-brown (body of O. zoltani wide, robust, brown, in male often bicoloured: pronotum red-brown, head and elytra brown); metatibiae of male usually without teeth or granules, rarely (subspecies O. t. subangulata sp. n.) with teeth (metatibiae of male in O. zoltani with 4–6 distinct teeth). Differences between the new species and O. evestigata sp. n. can be found in the diagnosis of the latter.
