Abstract 


A new species belonging to the genus Hadrurochactas Pocock, 1893 (family Chactidae Pocock,
1893) is described on the basis of one male specimen collected in southern French Guiana, in the Mitaraka Massif, belonging to the Tumuk Humak Mountains (Serra do Tumucumaque), close to the border between French Guiana and Brazil. Hadrurochactas tumucumaque sp. n. represents the third species of Hadrurochactas reported from French Guiana and the total number of Hadrurochactas species is now raised to nine. The disrupted pattern of distribution of the genus is also discussed.
